• Sophia Hultén lives and works in Berlin.
  • Her works often use found materials and draw on the concept of time and quantum physics.
  • For ‘Indecisive angles’, the artist cut and reassembled found metal trolleys to make them functionless. Such sculptures seamlessly blend together in unusual angles- as if they have been cut and placed in front of a mirror.
  • Likewise, in a more recent piece, ‘Ok ok ok ok ok’ in 2019, Hultén elevated two step ladders joined together with steel bearings rendering them useless. The sculpture seems to tip forward, playing with time, as if about to rotate, and seems to resemble the wheel of a mill.
  • I love how Hultén cuts and reassembles objects as well as her minimalistic approach. Whereas in the past I have largely kept my found objects whole (perhaps excluding my greenhouse sculpture), it may be interesting to experiment taking apart objects and cutting them before reassembling them. It may make my work seem even more unsettled and alien.
