Samuel Henne Minimalist Sculptures

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.”
