Electro Case
2021
Mixed media / Electrical cables, electrical connectors, socket, plug
320 x 64 cm
Electrical cables and connectors are intricately woven together into a network resembling a hammock, designed to fit the dimensions of a single body. The hammock is constructed so that the connectors create potential junctions for electric currents, which, upon plugging the socket into the plug, envelop the body cradled within it. These currents collide with one another, eventually leading to a short circuit. Black electrical cables appear in many of my works as a byproduct of the mechanical tools I use. In this piece, the cables and the potential flow of electricity serve as the central material—treated ready-made objects—and they transform into an independent sculpture for the first time.
