Press Release
The sculptural work of Alexandra Bircken explores analogies between the human body and machines, examining the structures of protection, identity, and the extension of the individual. The Berlin-based artist combines a wide range of materials and techniques—often woven or knitted textiles—to probe the boundary between humans and their constructed environments. She also dissects everyday technical objects with surgical precision, revealing the biomorphic qualities of machines. This dual approach results in an ambivalent body of work that is both cyborg-like and androgynous, questioning human behavior and desire, as well as the vulnerability of bodies in relation to technology.
The exhibition presents a selection of works created over the past decade, including several made specifically for this occasion.
The following remarks are excerpted from an interview with the artist (AB) by Paul Bernard (PB) and Selma Meuli (SM).
