Situated Furniture, Suk An
Mixed media (knives, acrylic mirror plastics, trolley and ribbon)
My artistic practice creates situations that explore the relationship between materials and arrangement in space. I work with the tension created by the ambiguity found in non-ambiguous everyday objects. My work, then, takes our intuitive, objective perception of these objects and challenges it through wry decontextualisation.

This intervention turns the objects or space from ‘known’ to ‘unknown’ by presenting them in unnerving frozen moments. I position myself between these two binary oppositions. I aim to contain paradoxes of everyday life in my work and, through replacing and transforming objects, I seek to create disorientated, uncanny and ambiguous situations.
