Marius Engh (1974, Oslo) understands objects by their ability to give and retain information, as representatives of a standardized, everyday way of life whose function and meaning refer to a given inheritance. His work appropriates these already existing forms and then replaces them in another context or under new readings, creating a sort of formalist encounter whose expression displaces the predominant cultural narrative, as well as the way of relating to its environment.
