The exhibition is an allusion to the idea of 'impossible objects', two-dimensional geometrical figures representing a projection of a three-dimensional object which is in reality impossible, as it suffers from distortions and breaks from other view-points. Such as an example is the 'Apolinère Enameled', a 1916 advertisement painted by Marcel Duchamp which depicts a girl painting a bed-frame with white enamel paint, including conflicting perspective lines that produce an unfeasible realisation of such, and where a piece of the frame is missing.
The proposition of a second-hand furniture shop as exhibition space, - immense in its dimension, impossible in its structure - , brings together a series of works that question our co-existence with objects. Functioning around the impossibility of a stable reality in which ourselves and the objects that surround us exist in, the works attempt to navigate these perpetual planes of flow. |
