Priska x Charlie Stein, Sentient Bag, 2021

Sentient Bag (2021, Digital Video, 14 sec) is a work by Berlin artist Charlie Stein. Often working with fetish materials, beauty filter aesthetics and fragments from popular culture, Stein's work oscillates between consumer culture and sentient cybernetic object. The glossy surface entices the viewer, while a multitude of eyes gazes back at the audience. Stein's recent exhibitions include Manifesta11, Villa Merkel, the Songjiang Art Museum Shanghai and the Istanbul Biennial.
