'FULCRUM STUDY'
Nico Krijno at blank projects'FULCRUM STUDY' is the second solo show by Nico Krijno, a sculptor-photographer based in Cape Town. As the title suggests, this exhibition concerns itself with the tension beneath the surface of things, particularly that which underlies the everyday and the mundane. Through a process of assembling found objects and materials and translating these sculptures and installations into photographs, Krijno examines the relationship between the two disciplines and their inherent limitations. The photographic 'still life' studies reveal the purposelessness and absurdity of certain mundane everyday objects when placed out of context and lend them anonymity by creating new roles for them, forcing a conversation that combines irony, humour and melancholy. To this end, Krijno explains, "editing and presentation are crucial in placing nature and our constructed world either in harmony or at odds… I want to show that the truth is not something simple, that there are not always clear and definitive answers."
