Collective exhibition 'Ulterior' Dutch Design Week Eindhoven 2018
contemporary art installation
The project embodies a daily ritual of folding the packaging from consumed products, reflecting a personal commitment to this mundane task. The phrase 'Bending over backward' finds resonance in the additional effort invested by the creator to meticulously fold these objects, despite the action being seemingly superfluous and devoid of utility.
The recurring motif of folding within these sculptures highlights the obsolete compulsion driving such behaviour, underscoring a mental need for repetitive actions. Ultimately, it serves as a poignant illustration of the human tendency towards compulsive perfectionism, as evidenced by the meticulousness of each fold, juxtaposed against the inherent imperfections inherent in human endeavours.
