Cabinet of Curiosities by Hans Op de Beeck
Cabinet of Curiosities’ monochrome grey display cases show a variety of sculptural interpretations of memorable objects. These ash-grey artefacts resemble fossilized gems or archaeological finds, brought together by a fictive, anonymous collector. The display cases seem to have been stripped of all their sheen and left behind as silent, abandoned units. The collections of curiosities in each cabinet bridge the thin line between value and worthlessness, uniqueness and banality, emphasising the importance of stories in bringing a still object to life.
