“We exchange the samples sometimes. If someone finds a more beautiful sample we switch it out with the previous one!”
The way we assign value to physical/aesthetic qualities is a very arbitrary procedure.
Symmetry, Contrast, Rarity
Beauty, Power, Idiosyncrasy
But through sharing and negotiations they sum up to certain standards and categories which then form our presence and interactions within our milieu. Containers which can exchange, overlap and even contain each other.
Here is presented a two-fold approach to this plasticity. One removes while the other embraces two of the main physical constraints that limit categories to interact: the stickiness of spatiality and the logic of chronology.
Márton Zalka studied product design at the Moholy-Nagy University in Budapest. He is a multidisciplinary designer and researcher, exploring and blending the ways of the boundless categorical thinking of the digital and the limiting complexities of our material world. Mainly working with photography as well as building furniture and exhibitions.
