Transformers, clouds and spaceships

Viac o knihe

Carlo Borer creates objects made of chromium steel or aluminum, which he designs, develops, and constructs on a 3D-CAD system. Rotation and the perfect relationship of tension between dynamism and static equilibrium play an important role in the definition of forms. They are cut with a laser from sheet metal, curved, and welded. The publication brings together Borer?s sculptures, statues, and installations, which he gives titles such as ?transformers, ? ?loops, ? or ?clouds, ? as well as his ?spaceships? and ?no readymades.? These objects suggest a presumed use and deceive one into thinking that they are utilitarian objects from a technically advanced civilization, mislead in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
