Phantom Limbs

Since the early 2000s, Mexican and Japanese artist Hisae Ikenaga (born in 1977 in Mexico City) has developed a sculptural practice based on the appropriation, displacement, and recomposition of objects drawn from industry and the domestic environment. By reconfiguring these everyday materials and objects, she performs a gesture of decontextualization that gives rise to hybrid forms, situated at the intersection of disciplines and open to new uses as well as to possible narratives.

The publication Phantom Limbs offers an in-depth analysis of this artistic practice developed over the past fifteen years. It brings together a selection of around twenty works produced between 2012 and 2024, accompanied by texts, views of the eponymous exhibition held in 2024 at the Konschthal, as well as a booklet of photographs and notes by the artist.
