Bookshelf Ghost 2025, Wood, Canvas
Abstract physicality of the intellectual is created every day in music, architecture, theatre and the visual arts.
Bookcase Ghost 2025
In this sculptural experiment, a random bookcase features a self-determined appearing human figure that looks as spiritless as possible, playing the antagonist to the incorporeal spirituality in the books.
Wood, cotton, glue – the materiality of the bookshelf sculpture is closely based on the materiality of books.
I achieve the most spiritless human figure possible by reducing the abstract human shape to the lower limbs, the legs, which are subjectively and objectively the part of the body furthest away from the head. To prevent it from appearing as a wooden construction, I have wrapped the pelvis down to the legs with strips of linen. The leg object made of natural wood is not assembled in a movable way like a jointed doll, so that it gives the impression of a sculptural object.
