Kasper Sonne - Doubt

#kasper sonne   #art   #conceptual  

One of the main questions posed in Sonne’s work is whether culture dictates the construction of meaning or whether it can be negotiated. Sonne engages in an open discussion of the established and the alternative, and his artistic practice revolves around classic dichotomies such as “good/evil”, “love/hate”, “truth/lie” etc. He works with established notions of terms and symbols, which in his work take on a new, open or altered meaning.

“The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning” is a slide projection that continuously shifts between the words “fear, your, control, your…” Depending on at what point the spectator address the work and his/her references, the statement can be read as “control your fear” or “fear your control”. The uncertainty and possible “misunderstanding” that occurs is the premise of the work that opens up for the spectator to actively insert oneself in the experience and reading of the work.
