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.

For her exhibition ' Songs for Gay Dogs' at Mudam Luxembourg, Cosima von Bonin has designed a soft sculpture entitled Handcuffed Lobster (Le Freak). The piece features a crab claw motif - a recurring element in her recent work – covered in antique rose velvet. The sculpture is accompanied by handcuffs clashing with the softness and sophistication of the material.
