Human figure, possible male
Gicléeprint in walnut frame and museum glass.
Signed á tergo 1/3. Frame size 56 x 70 cm.
Documentation from Bad Prompt at Thomassen Gallery. On view until 7th september.
In the exhibition, objects from museum collections are given new life. I have approached them without preconceptions, allowing their shape, material and stories speak to me on their own terms.
Thousand-year-old terracotta shards are transformed into butterflies, broken marble busts float freely in the room – as if gravity no longer applied. Unconditionally, I have surrendered myself to the objects and tried to release their inherent potential.
The works are based on fragments from humanity’s history; some we know alot about, others almost nothing, yet their idea lives on – as a testimony to humankind’s need to imagine the unimaginable, to create meaning through myth, and to unite what cannot truly be united. It is a process shaped by a reverent dialogue between the past and present, the weight of history and the lightness of dreams.
Bad Prompt seeks to bring new life to fragments that have fallen into oblivion. At the same time, it is a tribute to the beauty of misconstruction.
The installation contains of 23 images in various sizes, framed with walnut and museum glass, and 5 warehouse shelfs with images, text and objects.
