Drawing inspiration from both mythology and science, Verena Bachl creates sculptures and installations that combine archetypal symbolism and intimate elements with objects and methods of industrial mass production. Light installations immerse her sculptural works in a synthetic atmosphere reminiscent of their natural model, while an approach to the work and mindful observation reveals hidden meaning and a shift in perspective.

 

Her work illuminates pressing contemporary issues and challenges stereotypes by creating a speculative scenography for her combinations of figurative representation, minimalistic form and technological implementation with contrasting textures of metal, glass, and stone.
