plant

Axel Lieber uses everyday objects as reference objects and alienates their materiality by semantically gutting them and filling the resulting gaps with new content. This creates synaesthetic overlaps and oppositions that inspire the sculptures, as it were, and transport the viewer into an intimate sphere.
