About
© HfG / Photographer: Marie Schwarze
The German artist Paulina Floren (1996, she/they) lives and works in Kassel. Their artistic practice focuses on the interplay between the digital and the physical in the field of ceramics. By using digital tools, Floren explores algorithmic growth that and its transformation into 3D-printed ceramic creatures. This articulates simultaneously a study of shapes of animals, plants and fungi, and tests the material limits of ceramics. They studied Product Design at the Kunsthochschule Kassel where they gained their diploma in 2023. Floren has exhibited, amongst others, at the Kunstgewerbeverein, Frankfurt am Main, International Craft Fair, Munich, documenta Halle, Kassel, and Galerie Ladøns, Hamburg. Their work has been featured by the German Design Graduates platform and Vogue Business. Floren was artist in residence at the Höchster Porzellanmanufaktur/Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach, 2024-2025.
