Katja Aufleger is a Berlin-based sculptor whose artwork functions as a metaphor or an analogy for talking about a variety of diverse yet interlinked topics, from personal relations to cosmic bodies, social critique and potentiality of a disaster. At the core of her artistic work lies a question of power relations, which function both as a creative and destructive force. Before all, Aufleger’s objects and installations work as a provocation for a viewer. Observing her masterfully-crafted artworks is a double-edged experience, as a beautiful form either directly or indirectly references a series of alternative potentialities, be it a possibility of explosion, chemical reaction, a visual experience of sound or other. This way her works become a multi-layered experience where the viewer’s consciousness and subconsciousness participate in the creative process.
