Nina Canell works with various synthetic and organic materials aswell as found objects and everyday objects. The artist is particularly interested in chemical and physical processes and in the inherent transformational energy of objects and has created her own sculptural sign system.

Her exhibition Muscle Memory shows, amongst other recent works createdespecially for Baden- Baden, Otic Pit: a cochlea cast from basalt whose vibration-mechanical properties as part of the inner ear of mammals contribute to the dissolution of different pitches.
