Inhaltsangabe

In the sculptural works of Iris Musolf (b. 1980), the smooth surfaces of a commonplace product aesthetic meet the strange and the unspeakable that is often concealed beneath. Her artistic reconfiguration of materiality and form creates visual ambiguities that highlight the true fragility of our society. Musolf’s first monograph 39th of May brings together objects and sculptures that seem like the symbolic props of a vacuous society obsessed with pleasure. In these works, sexuality and violence appear as infantilised consumer goods in the guise of dolphin-shaped vibrators and inflatable Kalashnikovs. Freedom and coercion are interwoven in a commercially driven context, and human emotions primarily emerge in the form of great confusion.
