»While I was in Denmark, my husband threw away the sofa on which we had fallen
in love. I was devastated.«
Objects of Nina Sauders are investigations on consumerism and transfer at the
same time feelings into objects/models, utopia/humour and irony/claustrophobia.
»Because chairs are designed to accommodate the human body, we readily identify
with them. And since furniture is adapted for specific environments and conveys
messages about the status, aspirations and even gender, age and occupation of its
users, it has enormous expressive potential.« - Sarah Kent
A togetherness of two human beings is an impossibility, and where it does seem to
exist, a limitation, or mutual compromise which robs one side or both sides of their
fullest freedom and development. But ... a wonderful living side by side can arise for
them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them. - Rainer Maria Rilke,
Letters to a Young Poet (W.W. Norton & Company, 2004).
