Osner

June 9th to June 27th, 2009
The purpose of this series is to highlight today’s modern “throw - away” society and the excessive desire to have. Consumerism has reached an all time high in world economics today. Homes are filled with the best modern electronic equipment, beautiful cars are parked in the garages, and caravans and motorboats are lined up to guarantee weekend pleasure. All these items have a relatively short shelf life, soon they will be traded in for a new model and their journey towards insignificance commences. This body of work is a collection of things that have passed their “sell by date”, subjects that have fulfilled their purpose and have now been thrown away by their owners only to be forgotten. Earthly items, discarded if you like, “Things” brushed aside...Once worshipped, idolized and even loved, now simply left abandoned.

The main pillars on which my work lay are the interrelation and transformation of objects. I create a weightless, isolated, oneiric world. The unconscious world appears through the objects, which remain isolated, as survivors and at the same time, witnesses of the passing of time. The objects are the image of our pleasures, frustrations and desires. They have been transformed, cut, related and photographed to survive in a different world than the one in which they belonged. They were found and transformed in terms of a human unconscious which uses and isolates them from real time. The skin of the objects, or actually our skin, the skin of our life, the skin of our mind, the skin of our unconscious, the only skin of our finiteness which will perhaps last.
