The installation tries to reverse the relationship between objects and their functions, and between the center and the periphery. It shows the ambiguous border between abstraction and concrete objects.
In the installation, background papers, normally used for shooting photos, were made into a sculpture. The plinths too became sculptures through their intentionally unfinished quality: they were only given one coat of paint and minimally tilted with pieces of wood. The photographs on the wall have an ambiguous relationship to the objects in space, questioning the vague correlation between realistic appearance and subjective representation.
