Transmutation of Function
Assemblages, Collages, Paintings and Graphics created 1990 - 2000


by Filip Finger

There was a time of ecological awakening, when I got involved with thoughts about
recycling. The results of my speculations blossomed in a theory, how thing produced industrially
with its function as the sole source of its design, broken and thrown away exists just as a form.
Then picked up by me and used as an artworks detail, becomes alive with a new function, purely aesthetical.
In these artworks I use ideas the same way as I use materials. Archetypes and well known pictures are recycled.
Contains of this page are illustrating my theory.
