Daphne Ahlers: Die Würflerin - Paperback

by Daphne Ahlers (Artist), Daphne Ahlers (Editor), Melanie Ohnemus (Editor)

Malleable, soft materials, together with their "shells," form Ahlers' approach to cultural sciences and gender politics

Within her practice, German artist Daphne Ahlers (born 1986) works with the concepts of "soft sculpture" and "shell sculpture." Through her use of the malleable, adaptable features of foam, latex and other synthetic materials, Ahlers draws on symbols of patriarchal images and transforms them into alternative forms of expression.
