Slide projector, laser-cut steel slide, wall, hole, collage

The collage, assembled from realigned rhomboid sections of one photograph, is installed flush with the wall. It is illuminated from behind, creating a pattern of light at several of the collage's internal edges. Daniel Steegmann Mangrané's work often highlights the uncanny correspondences between organic and geometric shapes.

Kriska aluminium curtain, laser-cut and powder coated steel frame 

The curtains are both indications of a transition (meant to be traversed, marking the end of one space and the beginning of the next) as well as objects. Oscillating between appearing as diaphanous screen and semi-solid object, the works exist in a hybrid state between corporeality and immateriality.
