Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a reflective, curved surface that resembles a convex mirror, distorting and magnifying the image of a Haribo Berries candy package placed in front of it. The bold, colorful packaging of the candy stands out against the sleek, metallic backdrop, creating a visually striking composition. The artist seems to be exploring themes of consumerism, mass production, and the ways in which everyday objects can be transformed into thought-provoking artistic statements through the use of unique perspectives and materials. This piece challenges the viewer to reconsider the mundane and find beauty and meaning in the unexpected. ...

Koenraad Dedobbeleer constructs sculptural environments, often resembling elements of 1970s Space Age interior design, futuristic aesthetics for an imagined realm. Assembled together with Dedobeleer's original fabrications, his installations incorporate humorous modifications and recontextualisations of readymade objects. Through placing formerly mundane articles within the artist’s constructed worlds, he elevates and liberates them from their formal quality and function, asking the viewer to reevaluate them in a new context. This play between original sculpture and transformed object creates intriguing dynamics and contextual rifts, questioning the value and provenance attributed to objects, and how they can be altered within fresh frames of reference. Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
