When is a door not a door?
Artist Leandro Elrich has quite an elegant way of shattering our expectations (so to speak) in works like this one, where the properties of one material are experimentally applied to a familiar object made from another substance. The last thing a viewer expects is for an almost boringly ordinary door to crack and crumble like a sheet of glass.
Knobs away! What appears to be a large door knob rests on the floor in front of the broken shards (still sitting loosely in their frame). Others might think it was the instrument which shattered the door in this modern minimalist white room. The other works ive seen by Ulrich have been mostly of household furnishings and he adds twists to these common furnishings which turns them into conceptually challenging works of art.
