"My
intervention in F'Kull Belt Hemm
Kantuniera is inspired by concept Art, a
form of Art where the concept or idea becomes the most important aspect of
the work. I
tackled the theme from different points
of view in a minimalistic approach. Through the works exhibited I explored
the feeling of deceit and isolation in the 'city', where things are not
always as they seem, and more often than not one is consumed by the
appearance, the surface of things, whilst not taking the time to inspect the
object or situation more closely.
Another
aspect which I explored is the choice (or not) of ignoring one's ability to
feel or think, alienation...which could also be a means of protecting one
self. The pieces will be set up on wooden pedestals, whose form echoes the
ones one associates with the idea of a city, thus uniform cubes and cuboids.
The works are executed in mixed media."
