No Angle, No Poise, Tiago da Fonseca
Silicone rubber
Ordinary objects live between two different realities: the reality of the user and the reality of the object itself.
I like objects that intend to be part of these two realities; bringing memories, feelings and attachments into the relationship between the object and the individual.
The object then becomes part of the user's imagination. And the existence of the object becomes like a fragment of the real story.
