Inspired by a single piece of design this collection of images presents photography’s power to capture beyond object and the human form.
About
After acquiring the “Spline Chair” over 15 years ago, the photographer, Sokari was inspired to capture the beauty of its design, and to explore how human subjects would interact with it. The chair already has a very strong and bold design, so the challenge was to create an image that combines the two objects into one. The models were encouraged to interact and play with the chair and find ways to create shapes and forms using their bodies.
What you see here is the result of those sessions. Some of the models had never seen the chair before the shoot, nor had they seen pictures from previous shoots. This exhibition presents a playful engagement between performance and design, as model and prop are unified.
