Embedded - More or Less
Tim Flohr Sørensen’s exhibition series Insignificants continues with its September 2020 installation: Embedded - More or Less. The format is the same as the other months: a poster advert, a tiny exhibition, a speculative fabulation on a bookmark (scroll down and you can print one out), and a short musing at an exhibition launch in Tim’s department (The Department of Archaeology in The Saxo Institute at the University of Copenhagen.
Embedded - More or Less
“Surface, surface, surface, was all that anyone found meaning in…this was civilization as I saw it, colossal and jagged… “(Bret Easton Ellis)
Steel; 3 millimetres; Zinc galvanizing; Rust, often; Life expectancy: 75 years
Distribution pattern: primarily along kerb between road and bicycle path, between bicycle path and pavement, sometimes on pavement. Al-most never in shrubbery and rubbish bins. Individually or in clusters of five to twenty items.
Other: like fingerprints, all laughing gas canisters are different. The variations reveal them-selves, if you bury yourself in their surfac-es; if you surrender yourself to their deli-cate shades, reflections and deformation, created when materials come together. Some are glossy, others are painted with a matt, blue-grey colour. They all
patinate as their zinc coating corrodes. Many are dented,
because bicycles or cars run them over. Some are
flattened; a few are pressed into the asphalt.
Tread meets zinc coating meets asphalt meets my gaze.
