The riddle
2010
2010
A space intended to secure and protect everything of value.
The removal of its usability, the change of material and elimination of its purpose deprive it of the privilege of its previous capabilities, but the way it works seems to remain the same.
The remnants of the previous system’s management and the redefinition of value form a new model.
The passing from the objective to the notional value and their coexistence raise the question of its understanding. Thus, the sculpture directs its contents into something intangible highlighting the gap, the non-content, the riddle, assigning and simultaneously negating thoughts around materialism.
Emphasizing in transparency and communicating disposition seemingly, it consciously self-encodes its content at the point of becoming a riddle. While apparently the non-content is ready to be exposed and to offer itself, in fact it seeks for a decryption that requires substantial communication and understanding of the system.
