Ulrike Mundt’s sculptures and objects move on the border between art and design. The artist uses perfectly constructed spatial bodies and high-gloss surfaces to create an aura of importance. With various strategies, such as a cartoon-like visual joke or a signal language running in the void, she disturbs the self-referential discourses of her works and formulates in this way criticism of the beautiful appearance as well as the simplification of complex connections.
