Nothing but chocolate
Nothing but chocolate is an installation piece that explores the contemporary artist's struggle for novelity.
Is there a need to re-invent art? Has art come to an end? are some of the questions that I would like to ask with this piece. I personally find it almost impossible to come up with somthing ground breaking. Looking at this piece what is new about it? The answer is nothing. It is simply an installation piece, one of many. However, it does speak on my behalf, it speaks about my personal struggle.
material:
writing: wood, screws, masking tape and cardboard
chocolate wall: wood & chocolate
The lines of words are attached on a wooden frame. In order to keep the letters the same size, the top letters which are at the rear of the installation need to be larger than the ones in front. There is a sort of illusion in terms of the size of the letters => 2D - 3D.
