exploring materials, experiences and points of references – both fragile, lost and strong – ‘souvenir of the last century’ by studio nucleo up-cycles physical memories into new forms. reclaiming discarded materials from a different eras, the wooden ladder and epoxy composition highlights details and characteristics from when the original piece was new. mummifying fragments from the past with a transparent body of resin, the gallery piece materializes objects from the last century into a souvenir for the future.
