Sofia Hultén’s sculptural practice enquires into the nature of found objects, featuring them in the round or as the protagonists of photographs and videos, yet always in four dimensions, vibrating with their past and potential. She submits ordinary objects to strange activities, observing how they behave unmoored from their contexts.
‘I see things as whirling masses of “What could I be?”, “What have I been?”, “What is inherent in me?” Inside every particle there’s the potential for an incredible amount of energy.’ (Sofia Hultén, 2009)
