About the Item

With a keen interest in the uncomfortable relationship between intimacy and voyeurism, Middernacht & Alexander thrive on investigating the psychological aspects of everyday life. Perception is a major theme, as are time, conservation and the human condition.The culmination of these themes is apparent in their choice of materials, which seem straightforward but are actually rather ambiguous. Middernacht & Alexander often look for materials that have fleeting characteristics, that oxidize or decay if left untreated, and try to stop them. In doing so tensions arise, which in turn tie in with what they experience as human beings. Middernacht & Alexander are known for their innovative series "How I Got Over", which reuses decommissioned underground diesel tanks from Belgian homes. These decades-old tanks, scarred by corrosion, offer a unique patina that the duo transforms into functional works of art. Each piece is finished with a unique combination of epoxy and pigments, making each artwork unique due to the unregistered mix of materials used.

Contemporary with dynamite exploded 'Lose control' steel
Located in 1204, CH
One-of-a-kind Sideboard. The object is made from a Metal Volume that has been spontaneously shaped by an explosion, and hand treated to reach a soft touch. Part of a series of three furniture pieces, Metal Volumes have been exploded at various energy levels in a sequence of crafted detonations. These elements have been treated to reach a completely unique aesthetic and feel. The process and the inherent uncertainty of the outcome is a defining element of the work. The production of the explosions takes place in the Portuguese countryside with a team of explosive ordnance experts, and has been recorded into a film directed by Frederico Velez. “We are not able to control anything but our attitude regarding life, and even that is at some point uncontrollable. Lose Control is a liberation of energy, a constructive loss of control”. Born in Romania in 1986, Mircea Anghel...
