Bio
Benedict Haener is an artist based in Luzern, Switzerland.

Statement
Benedict Haener's works captivate with technical sophistication, playfulness and the irritating familiarity of seemingly familiar everyday objects. The works are wearable. They are, at the same time, status symbols, pro- and anti-statements. Thematically, Haener defies familiar conventions with irony and wit. Values are questioned, and new qualities are constructed by Haener using surprising techniques and processes.-
