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.
