Baiba Soma

Is recycled purity still as pure as it used to be? Expired White bu Baiba Soma is now on display in the exhibition CIRCULAR>MATERIALISTS.

We tend to associate white with purity, perfection and a new beginning. Baiba investigates various aspects of white as a choice to reach this particular state. The project looks at discarded white objects and attempts to change the perception of these Expired Whites by giving them a new appreciation. A washing machine panel becomes a table leg and a phone charger cable weaves into a carpet. The human traces left on the objects show the once cherished perfection, now forgotten in a landfill, where the mountain of white gold continues to grow.

Curios? Come and have a look. Downtown Eindhoven.
