German minimalist sculptor Samuel Henne makes small pieces out of everyday objects and then photographs them on nice, colored backgrounds. This latest group of work is called ‘Something Specific About Everything’. One aspect I find interesting about Samuel’s work is that he transforms his own sculpture by photographing it and thereby creating something completely different from its original state. In the process, he levels the playing field between sculpture and painting.

“‘Some­thing spe­cific about every­thing’ focuses on var­i­ous aspects of value and reval­u­a­tion of mate­ri­als and objects within the arts prac­tice and the cul­tural hier­ar­chy. Issues such as Duchamp’s inven­tion of Ready­mades and trans­for­ma­tional processes fuse together with the artis­tic mediums.” —Samuel Henne
