THE MATERIA SERIES
About the MATERIA series: The MATERIA series (2023) by Mikael Kenta is an exploration of the fluid boundary between rigid industrial material and the ethereal world of light. Born from an all-night session in a Gothenburg studio, the series transforms the utilitarian—specifically glossy, chrome car-wrapping foil—into a medium for abstract sculpture and cosmic light play.
By folding, crumpling, and reshaping these metallic sheets against a backdrop of airplane-quality aluminum panels, Kenta sought to recapture the childhood wonder of cloud-gazing. Just as drifting clouds reveal shifting figures to the patient observer, each manual manipulation of the foil births unpredictable, fluid forms. Bathed in the neon glow of the studio, these metallic "sculptures" ignite with iridescent reflections—lavenders, soft pinks, and crystalline blues—that ripple like living vapor.
Captured digitally in real-time, Materia freezes these fleeting moments of transformation with precision and depth. The series invites prolonged contemplation of matter’s infinite fluidity, celebrating a state of playful discovery where the ordinary is rendered boundless and the beauty of impermanence is made timeless.
IBIZA SERIES
About the IBIZA series: “People from Ibiza” Kenta first came to visit the magic island of Ibiza as a young man at the age of 18 and fell in love with the diversity of personalities and expressions of freedom.
