Brecht Wright Gander

A large mechanism creates continually shifting tensions in a fleshy silicone form. Light is diffused by the silicone, which evokes a flayed animal skin, cut away and stretched for tanning. Flesh Light furthers my work creating kinetic conceptual furniture, testing the firmness of distinctions between objects and bodies. The furniture machines I make tend to enact a kind of sisyphean repetitiveness, performing closed loops of action. The question of “why” is one which expands outwards from the work — ‘why does a chair walk’ refers us to the question of why we do.
