Involuntary Pairs

"Involuntary Pairs" Man-made lost in Nature

18 December 2020 to 21 March 2021

Involuntary Pairs is a collection of objects of marine plastic pollution, individually picked up from Asian beaches by artist liina klauss since 2013. Each man-made object is matched with an item found in nature to form an Involuntary Pair: the two objects look alike, yet one originates from nature, the other from human manufacturing.

Artist profile
liina klauss is a German land-artist (1974) who explores visual and conceptual perceptions of waste, specifically marine pollution. She translates environmental pollution into over-flowing installations of screaming colours and horrifying beauty. liina started to make environmental installations in Hong Kong in 2011, after quitting her career as a fashion-designer. One of her main objectives is to involve people into her creation process. “Creative action is a tool for transformation and connection and ultimately change.” She says, “Art is great. Making art is greater.” Today liina creates everything from delicate mosaics to large scale land-art.
