Ceci n'est pas un sac

DKK 400.00

Ceci n'est pas un sac

It is not a bag. It is also, unmistakably, a bag.

Each one is sewn by hand in Denmark from dead stock fabrics — materials that would otherwise be wasted. The inscription on every piece asks you not to wash it, not to iron it, to let it accumulate the marks of use: stains, creases, the residue of being carried through a life. You would not wash the Mona Lisa.

After Magritte, who knew that naming what a thing is not tells you more about it than naming what it is.

Part of EP&W — Exploring Perception and Worth. This is a wearable sculpture priced at what a handmade bag costs.

Handmade in Denmark from dead stock fabrics. Materials range from polyester, wool and cotton. Signed and numbered by the artist. Approximately 40×40×10 cm HxWxD. Available in four colours: happy red, kind of blue, shades of grey, almost white.
