Waste container

This sculpture was part of a solo exhibition with the title "•", together with two other pieces "Konturen" and "Konturen (figur 2)".

It consists of waste that has been modelled into the shape of a waste container attached to the wheels of the original container. The sculpture is dealing with the same ideas as the other two works in the exhibition, but through a very different process and with a very different visual expression. The slow process of modelling the container creates a big contrast to the immediate "joke"-feeling which is the foundation of the simple meme-like idea: to model a waste container in waste. Amongst other things, the sculpture is about the massive as a contrast to the surface, the authentic vs. representation, simplicity vs the complex, figuration vs abstraction, humor, absurdity and seriousness, language, form/shape in relation to content/material. The exhibition is an experiment with contrasting visual formalities and an attempt to question visual and conceptual prejudices.
