What A Time To Be Alive Mirror Object by Mark Sturkenboom

About the Item

What A Time To Be Alive Mirror Object by Mark Sturkenboom Dimensions: W 60 x D 20 x H 125 cm Materials: Crashed Ferrari Door, Silvered All unique pieces, made from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche We live in a world where there is an urge to possess. The world of the haves and the have-nots. We want to show off with luxurious, expensive and grand items. Mark Sturkenboom responds to our collective thirst with the series What A Time To Be Alive, mirror objects made from crashed supercar doors like Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche. Cars that symbolize the current worship of the ‘nouveau riche’ and play with our thirst to possess. Sturkenboom reinvents a new statues quo by disarticulating and materializing a fierce fraction of a second, transforming a high impact collision into a solid state. Their liquid-like reflective state is the result of hundreds of hours excessive polish work. Mark Sturkenboom (Driebergen, 1983) is an artist that graduated with honors in 2012 at Artez Academy for the Arts in Arnhem/Netherlands. Since 2012 he works as a conceptual product designer/artist in his atelier in Utrecht. His work balances between art and design, he stretches the boundaries between art and design. He offers new viewpoints and rituals to deal with life. ‘My focus lies not on the appearance of things, but on what I call the deeper layers in the relation between an object and its owner. ‘I try to call forward a myriad of associations and stimulate our thinking about what counts to us in our lives. I examine the meaning of objects and products and set them free from their conventional and initial use.’ Sturkenboom reinterpretates products that are often intertwined with the themes love, time or has an inclination with a collective value perception. Engaging his work, you probably will need to start making ‘moral’ decisions. For instance his Ark, table clock, urn or vase are not just functional or only good looking. In their presence and while handling them they invite you to think about time, love passed or the possibility to free yourself from the burden of your possessions by destroying them. His work is exhibited and part of private collections worldwide, from New York to Shanghai, from Tokio to Amsterdam.
