Distorted Imitations

Schlaucher Ståhl, Irma January 2023 (has links)
An imitation of a material is usually associated with a lower value. It could partly be because materials linked to permanence and aging are often seen as something more exclusive. In materials such as stone and wood, we can often see a trace of time. It can be seen through the growth rings in diverse types of wood. Or the pattern formed in rocks by magma that solidified in the earth’s crust over time. In my project, I want to question how we value materials and material imitations in relation to their age, execution, and location. By juxtaposing original materials with distorted copies, the materials communicate with each other and thus create an enhanced imitation. In my project, I investigate how we value materials, based on the idea of the material as something considered as genuine or fake and what is possible within the limitations of an imitation.
