The Fragmented Collection is a project that speculates on languages and iconographies, emphasizing the lack of content, of language, of meaning, not simply based on the super-collection and sharing of images: rather as a part of a social relationship between people that is mediated by images. Driven by a compilation process that visualizes the complexity of the current digital age, resulting in a Physical Memento, highlighting the value of the leftover and at the same time sculpting a reminiscence of specific junctures in time. The project generates and digests forms of Beauty, moving from antiquity to popular culture and questioning the topic of heritage for future generations.
The Sculptural result of his latest collection emphasizes the friction and contradiction between a “natural” stone as an allusion to ancient ruins, clashing with a shiny-polished resin, as the depiction of the “fake” contaminated popular culture, strengthening the crossroads between heritage/modern & craft/digital. Hitched by a bold critique towards the current society and the everyday indigestion of images and pop iconographies.
