In these works, sexuality and violence appear as infantilised consumer goods in the guise of dolphin-shaped vibrators and inflatable Kalashnikovs. Freedom and coercion are interwoven in a commercially driven context, and human emotions primarily emerge in the form of great confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and German.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berlin-based artists Iris Musolf&rsquo;s first monograph brings together objects and sculptures that seem like the symbolic props of a vacuous society obsessed with pleasure.
