ECHOES 2024
The installation "Echoes" presents a seemingly chaotic arrangement of wooden elements symbolizing double-T steel beams.
By choosing wood as the medium, an interesting tension is created between the hard, industrial aesthetics of the double-T steel beams and the natural, organic quality of the wood, generating a subtle dichotomy between nature and industry.
The use of steel beam symbols in an art installation references the industrial past of the region while simultaneously addressing the transformation of function and meaning through the artistic context.
The installation is intended to stimulate reflection on the relationship between industry, labor, and art. The apparent chaos of the arrangement can be seen as a metaphorical representation of the discrepancy between the harsh reality of industrial work and the creative freedom of art interpretation.
Echoes offers a multifaceted perspective on the connection between local industrial history, artistic transformation, and reflection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the intersections of art, industry, and society."
