Hängende Pflanzen Exp5 2017

Alfio Giuffrida’s "Hängende Pflanzen Exp5," presents a collection of items organized into an interconnected network of shapes. Giuffrida, born in 1953, developed a visual language that touches on ideas of order, structure, and the relationships between objects. This piece uses industrial colors to depict a collection of everyday objects, each rendered with meticulous care and arranged in an almost scientific grid. Giuffrida explores how we categorize and assign value to the objects that surround us, highlighting the systems we create to understand and control our environment. This creates a tension between the familiar and the abstract, inviting us to reflect on the role of objects in shaping our identities and experiences. Ultimately, the artwork prompts us to consider how we create meaning through the arrangement and interpretation of our surroundings. It turns the personal act of observation into a shared exploration of culture and self.
