Collapse Bikini

Estrid Lutz (b. 1989) is a French artist working in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. Her practice investigates the poetic intersection of technoscientific and organic processes, utilising high-tech materials and blown glass, to create a "technopoetic" synthesis that dissolves the boundaries between the natural and the artificial. Lutz studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Art Center in Los Angeles, her artworks have been exhibited in the U.S, Mexico, Europe, China and elsewhere and are in prestigious public and private collections internationally. 

Collapse 0000005 is composed of inkjet prints on photographic paper, UV treated, air injected lenticular sheets, anti-corrosion, high temperature resistant honeycomb aluminium, epoxy-resin, and fiberglass. The artwork was conceptualised and developed graphically in Puerto Escondido before being produced sculpturally in Vienna Austria where the artwork was exhibited.
