Estrid Lutz’s works are hybrids transitionals forms, collages or sculptures made from a variety of resistant, lightweight, toxics innovating materials such as honeycomb alluminium,kevlar/carbon/glass fibers mixing with epoxy resin, her drawings, images, photoluminescents powders.
Forms of violence, from suffering and war, witnessed onscreen, mutli destructions ,the feeling of missing someone, or being lonely, resonate throughout Estrid’s works in both image and physical form.
The materials’ ability to endure aggression and deconstructive processes, is revealing the potential resistance of the used fibers in an a raw engaged and intuitive human-cyborg relationship.
Physically, her sculptures resemble futuristic elements that have served as protection against a nuclear bomb. A primal form of protection and enhancement, as well as an expression of our socio-economic realities, constructed and seen through a screen or not.
Her researchs refers not only to the death, the obsolescence towards our current ecological deterioration but also an activation of materials processes in her artist studio ‘lab’ which are by enlarge highly toxic chemical endeavors -a sort of «techno – bricolage». She is seeking for an uncanny ambivalence between electronic waste and a possibility of emerging spirits, that might inhabit our devices.
Lutz’s work speaks to the current age, where science and technology have thoroughly affected the climate and natural environment, especially where it concerns or effects organisms, the cellular, bacterial, plant, animal, and human life. But it is how the emotional human body and mind are altered in a physically disconnected, yet globally conscious time, that is at the core of Lutz’s work.
