About
The work of Sofia Hultén is characterized by a typically experimental, questioning approach to the things we encounter in everyday life. The objects Hultén chooses usually come to her second-hand, sourced online or found in the street, bearing the marks of a previous life, revealing the hidden potentialities in alternative realities and parallel possibilities in their compositional rearrangement. Her materials usually appear as fragments of a larger frame of activity, similar to a single aspect of an overarching storyline. The different sequences of events remind us that objects are not static and fixed, but located in a time-space continuum that connects the past with the future. In the process she succeeds again and again at circumventing habitual patterns of perception and at divining unascertained dimensions in everyday objects. Hultén’s work is often a clever, brain-teasing demonstration of the ways in which art, often more so than philosophy or science, can mediate between abstract reasoning and aesthetic experience.
