The Representative
This sculpture was built to be a prop for a short film titled “Land of the lost”.
The film was shot, but never produced. To make up for it, one day I found a bunch of people doing a fashion photography shoot right outside my studio door. After talking a bit we got some really fun photos.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
