In the sculpture series "Hide & Seek", Maria Miesenberger continues her investigation of how identity is created and shaped. The model for the sculptures is a teenage boy from her own family and she creates a metaphor for coming into existence. A portrayal of the self playing hide and seek with itself and the world around it. A finger print-like pattern meanders over the surface of the aluminium sculptures that, among other things, question how we identify an individual.
