Hilde Onis

beeldhouwen - installatie

Hilde Onis’s (1994) work is expressed in amalgams of sculpture, installation, video work and textual interventions.
The work plays with the characters of trivial objects, questioning our daily reality subsequently materialized in physical forms and solid metaphors. By making objects that seem to be wanting to talk to you, referring to language systems and transforming object and material hierarchies, the work tries to expose underlying structures of human assumptions and constructed semiotic agreements. Much of the work centers on the idea of contingency, the idea that things only act when they are needed, holding some kind of dormant potential energy until requested.
Recognizable objects and physical metaphors play a refined game for attention.The dense installation compulses each work to be each others neighbor and creates room for an everlasting dialogue, balancing on meanings, like thoughts that have no end or beginning.
