Everyday Sculptures - ongoing project
Everyday Sculptures examines the ephemeral still lifes and moments that I find in the debris of daily chaos.
I photograph things created by accident in the street. I am fascinated by mistakes and imperfections that someone has tried to repair back to their original condition or attempted to improve—interventions that disrupt everyday life and the sterility of our streets. These moments can be seen as the result of immediate material needs and, on a global scale, as a testimony to the uncertain political and economic situation. I also see these seemingly banal objects as artefacts that reflect creativity, ingenuity, and DIY activity. The random sculptures created by human intervention can be understood as ready-mades; they are transformed from functional objects into artworks.
With a similar approach to that of British artist Richard Wentworth, I combine sculptures, installations, and photographs that intertwine and complement each other. In his photo book Making Do and Getting By, Wentworth investigates the process of perception and communication. He observes the evidence of human actions—the marks and traces left on the urban landscape.
The second part of my project consists of photo installations that I build from diverse recycled materials, highlighting the overall DIY aesthetic and the use of poor and found materials. During my urban walks, I collect discarded things I find in the street—such as wood, stones, bricks, and fabric—from which I create handmade structures, frames, hanging systems, and pedestals. The installations imitate the forms and elements encountered in urban space.
