Birgit Dieker - hide & hold

This monograph offers an overview of the sculptor's last ten years of work. Birgit Dieker has dedicated an entire artistic universe to the epidermis of her sculptures as an analogy to skin, to the countless variations of clothing as a concealing layer. The title "hide & hold" combines the artist's central theme of human identity with the complexity of inner experience. The bibliophile design of the book underlines the sensual quality of the artworks it contains.
