Abstract [en]

This research explores the relationship between climbing protection devices and everyday tableware and kitchen appliances. By juxtaposing these seemingly disparate objects, the project aims to investigate the similarities and differences in their form, function, and design. The photographs showcase various climbing protection devices, such as cams, nuts, and bolts, alongside common kitchen items like plates, cups, and utensils. The research aims to demonstrate the potential for everyday objects to be reinterpreted and repurposed to convey new meanings, challenging the viewer's preconceptions about the objects in question. Through this unique pairing, the project highlights the beauty and complexity of both climbing gear and everyday objects, while also prompting viewers to consider the role of design in both practical and recreational settings. By exploring the relationship between climbing equipment and everyday household items, the project encourages viewers to consider the ways in which design principles are shared across different contexts and domains. The work invites the viewer to ponder the similarities and differences between these seemingly unrelated domains and question how the context in which an object is presented can alter its meaning and significance, particularly the underlying design principles that shape our built environment. It also encourages viewers to appreciate the beauty and artistry inherent in even the most utilitarian objects. The photographs present a critical analysis of the expressive potential of these objects, drawing visually on a range of theoretical perspectives and approaches from the fields of visual culture and semiotics. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted relationships between objects, meaning, and expression in contemporary visual culture.
