Graduation from Sandberg Institute, 7 June 2011
Title: Les Individus (The individuals)
Description: Empty balconies made in paper
Theory: The work is inspired from my thesis on the topic of Sovereignty.
I don't believe sovereignty belongs to countries or states, but to individuals.
The essay is a research on liberty of individuals within the social contract.
The research includes Thomas Hobbes', Rousseau's and John Locke's
philosophy of politic in addition to my personal perspective on the issue.
An implication of individual sovereignty on my work could read as follows:
created things are autonomous beyond their functionality. A balcony
is the idea 'balcony' only from its usability or its particularity to be framed,
imprisoned in a word. Without a frame or door around a balcony,
its character of being individual remains integer.
