FLORIAN SATAWA

Displaying one’s personal belongings in public might seem like an act of exhibitionism, yet in Florian Slotawa’s work, the act strangely surpasses the otherwise obvious personal associations and becomes a fascinating commentary on how objects and their function define space, identity, and the feeling of belonging.Where does one belong, but also what belongs to oneself? What meaning do objects carry? How do they define one’s perception of space?

I like the idea of putting the objects together to create different shape and ideas of space,that are asthetically pleasing. Satawa also photographs his work in black and white to show the shadows and light within space.This fits well when combining mine and symones ideas of incorporating my personal objects and her ideas on changing light.

I'd like maybe experiment more with the subtraction cutting method but with putting more than one object together to create new shapes and spaces.
