About Gina Fischli
Gina Fischli’s practice is characterised by the playful employment of a multitude of different media, including glitter and denim, to explore notions of fantasy, food, materiality and consumption in contemporary society. Cleverly upending notions of scale, fake and real, Fischli sculpts castle-shaped cakes – complete with fondant-like turrets and windows – from polymer clay, as well as large portraits on plywood bejewelled with glitter that depict cocktail glasses and Diet Coke cans. Fischli’s castle cakes are often named after real British and German medieval or neo-Gothic castles, monumental and supposedly haunted buildings, humorously rendered by the artist in saccharine, sugar-frosted technicolour.
