Photographed on beautiful color-block backgrounds, German artist Samuel Henne created these great minimalist sculptures using only every objects like kitchen-gear, pills, plastic glasses, tape, foam, screws, matches… The result is pretty odd but very interesting.
From the artist:
“something specific about everything” focuses on various aspects of value and revaluation of materials and objects within the arts practice and the cultural hierarchy. Issues such as Duchamp’s invention of Readymades and transformational processes fuse together with the artistic mediums.””
Photography takes a special position in this topic, as photography made a value transformation as an artistic medium to gain an equal position to paintings and sculptures. Photography became an artistic medium, instead of getting a reduced position as a “pure recording” process.”
