The Rising Sun.

Twenty people interviewed. One sun.

The Visual Taste Test process generates material: stories, objects, associations that belong to a specific person and the network around her. Here, twenty friends described the same woman from twenty different angles. The research produced a collection of existing objects, each one a distilled reference to a memory or connection.

The formal problem was how to make twenty individual testimonies into one coherent object. The answer was coating: every element, regardless of origin or material, covered in the same warm gold. Different objects, different histories, one surface. The coating doesn't erase the differences, it holds them together.

Steel, found and repurposed materials, gold coating. 85 x 55 x 12 cm.
