Custom made laboratory glass, t4 tinted fluorescent light, transformator, laboratory glass retainers, cables.
“ÄTHER” addresses the ideas of the object, of collecting, storing and preserving, as inspired by the cabinets of curiosities of the Italian Renaissance. Placed inside a specimen bell jar, the fluorescent light arrangement is guided from the aesthetics of preservation spaces, such as laboratories.
Constructed using fluorescent lights marked by the designer as “endangered,” the work repositions them not for their function, but for their status as disappearing industrial materials. Mounted to the wall with laboratory clamps, the tubes are treated like rare objects-not unlike specimens in a cabinet of curiosities.
