Reconstructed parts
of furniture, tables, couches and chairs are colourfully ornamented with eastern
beauty, they stand, hang, or emit sounds. Are they only parts of baroque
furniture or do they have a deeper power? They refer to wealth and status but
also ugliness and kitsch. These are strange but familiar objects that appear to
have a place in another world. A new meaning and status arises in these
sculptures made of used and unimportant objects.
In the photographs
the chapters of life move between suffering and beauty. The different forces of
nature and culture become tangible and visible. |
