description
Focusing on small, ordinarily disregarded objects and events is an attempt to bring these insignificant occurrences to the surface, to fixate on what is fleeting, and reveal what is hidden.
Here, the moment when socks are taken off — or lost, forgotten, discarded — is put on display. The focus shifts from a human being to studying the essence of the objects of his daily life.
In the project, socks lose their flexibility and functionality, freezing in a determined state. Keeping their essence inside, they take either formless or clear outlines. How will we define these objects — are they still the genuine ones or not?
