Bircken explores the relationship between machinery and the human body, emphasizing that just as machines can be dismantled and made still, so too can humans experience disarray and need for understanding.
The centerpiece of Bircken's show, a toy horse cut in half, symbolizes a pause in motion, resonating with today's feeling of crumbling systems and the complexities of existence.
Christine Lagarde's signature manipulated in Bircken's art serves as a metaphor for the disruption in political and economic order, paralleling the dismantling of speed-driven machinery.
Despite the stillness represented in her work, Bircken expresses hope for a 'resurrection' of both machine and human essence, signifying a potential return to vitality.
