Since the 1990s, Cologne-based artist Cosima von Bonin has established herself as a singular figure in contemporary art by way of infusing sharp and humorous perspectives on our society. Her textile, sculptural, and multimedia installations subvert pop culture icons and luxury industry emblems, staging stuffed animals and everyday objects that uncover the absurdity of power relations and mass consumption in the era of late capitalism.
Cosima von Bonin has designed a scarf for her exhibition Songs for Gay Dogs at Mudam Luxembourg entitled Lobster Scarf (Le Chic). The piece draws on the motif of the crab claw - which has made a number of appearances in the artist’s work in the last few years – covered in black velvet.
