“Cajsa von Zeipel’s figures are glitched simulacra of the human form. Von Zeipel uses silicone – a material that is common in implants, sex toys, and kitchen equipment – to bring her sculptures to life. Beneath the silicone there are parts of mannequins, objects that are typically used to construct desire in capitalist spaces. Sawing off limbs and reconnecting dis-parate pieces, von Zeipel destroys their normative bodies; rather than statically holding clothes, these reconfigured forms take on uncanny movements.”

I like it - it’s similar to Anna Uddenberg’s work (though much more uncanny). Do you know if Zeipel was making figures like this before?

Yes yes, saw a great show of hers in NY circa 2017. Their sculptures are unsettling by perversity!
