ILLUSION

ILLUSION 

Collaboration piece between Emilie Bobek & Josephine Andredottir

“Illusion” is both a piece of furniture and a sculpture. The work is a study of the physical laws and distortions stored in our bodily as well as our perceptual experiences. It is inspired by the physical condition “Motion After Effect” where the brain distorts dead objects to look like they are alive or moving under special circumstances: for example looking at a stone after looking at a waterfall, the stone will appear to drift upwards.

In my work I’m interested to find out how we categorize and define objects. I can not tell the full story of when or how categorization takes place, but I can describe a personal or sometimes common selection of thoughts and considerations that I find essential in how we look at a man-made object.

For me it is interesting how the rules of language determine how one sees, feels, uses and relates to objects.

History, language, material and function are all key topics in my work which unfold some of the seen and unseen secrets of an object. My object. I find it interesting how communication is determining and defining objects, and I hope you as the viewer will come to question the origin of objects as much as I do.
