Lucie Stahl works across various mediums, including sculpture, installation, and digital media. Her art explores the concept of liquidity in various forms, such as financial liquidity and the fluidity of gender, identity, and images. Through the use of found objects and imagery, Stahl delves into the excesses and pitfalls of modern consumer culture, examining themes like branding, consumption, addiction, and dependency. Stahl is renowned for her poster-like works made using contemporary photographic techniques. She arranges everyday objects such as spices, ties, magazines, and wheels on a scanner and encases the resulting prints in polyurethane to make them appear like distant objects. Adding short text fragments to these works, Stahl humorously expresses her perspective on social and political events and the competitive nature of the art world. Using language similar to American stand-up comedy, Stahl peppers these prints with witty anecdotes and observations recounted in a soliloquy style. The combination of text and reproduced objects creates a discursive tension, producing an analytical and distancing effect.
