This compelling abstract and sculptural photography print stands as a definitive visual statement within the highly celebrated Photographs collection by contemporary artist On Hansen. Exploring a complex philosophical dialogue, the artwork masterfully uses photography to map out the dichotomy between the immanent existence of representations in human consciousness and the transcendent existence of things-in-themselves. The layout anchors a powerful perspective tracking a single central floating cluster where a dark, sharp-edged mineral rock structures a solid base for crumpled glossy foil sheets to wrap around its contours, using strategic studio lighting to turn surface folds into an elegant topography of abstract lines. Far from common representation, this intense investigation of scale, dimension, space, and context delivers an outstanding sculptural result frozen against a clean grey backdrop.
The dichotomy between the immanent existence of representations in consciousness and the transcendent existence of things-in-themselves. The use of photography to explore dimension, scale, space and context creating an sculptural result.

On Hansen originally from Scandinavia is the pseudonym used by the photographer Cristian Hunter, a third-generation artist who has spent most of his professional career as a photographer.
In the realm of On Hansen's artistic universe, the notion of "infrathin" takes on profound significance. Delving into the intangible spaces between tangible forms, Hansen's creations navigate the subtle, uncharted territories of human perception. Within the artworks, layers of meaning unfold, transcending the limits of conventional senses. Temporality and transformation, consistency, color, shape and surface were the constants of the visual language of On Hansen. It invites viewers to embark on a journey of introspection, where the unspoken and the unseen come to life. Art that mimics a process of decay by exposing the impact of time on the medium, creating artworks that seem to have been unearthed, Muted and physical. It is in this liminal space, where the whispers of the intangible resonate, blurring the lines between what is seen and what is felt. "Wear and age as if the work had its own geology applied as a ritual. The art process as its own theme.
