These works are attempts to both break free from such attributions and compensate for the loss of the body and face. Lienbacher makes use of these shifts in order to reunite the two of them and then make them drift apart again "“ such as in her work "Psyche", where the mirror as a central element, enclosed by a bright braid of lime wood, gradually takes on an uncanny aspect. The Austrian label ak7 exclusively devotes itself to the production and marketing of design objects conceived by international artists. These objects are always manufactured in editions of seven, with a particular focus on perfect craftsmanship. So far, ak7 has realized objects designed by Erwin Wurm, Louis Weinberger, Martin Walde, Ester Stocker, Maeve Rendle, Ulrike Lienbacher, Shilpa Gupta, Sissi Farassat, and Pavel Büchler.
