In her sculptural installations, Lisa Biedlingmaier takes up traditional crafts and transforms them into an independent, contemporary artistic way. As a basis she uses the old knotting technique macramé, which originates from the Orient. Her macramé sculptures, mostly hanging freely in the office space, are reminiscent of abstract, fragile human bodies. In the process, the knotting and unknotting itself becomes the thematic focus. The artist uses this technique as a metaphor to reflect on human existence: In which social structures are we born into? What entanglements emerge through your lifetime? And which anchored patterns and correlations do we want to dissolve? The art of knotting thus unfolds an oppressive and a healing effect at the same time.
