Studio Voltaire

Lin May Saeed (b. 1973, Germany) presents Biene, a new commission of sculptures that span a narrative of human–animal relationships from the prehistoric, to the present day. This is the first–ever institutional exhibition of Saeed’s work.

Saeed’s new commission includes a pantheon of carved, life–sized animals, alongside a steel gate sculpture, painted reliefs and a large backlit paper cut–out. Saeed’s work generates tensions between themes of oppression and liberation. She directly confronts our conflicted relationships with animals – who are at times characterised as companions, votives, an exploited labour force or food source – and by extension, our impact on and interactions with the environment.
