Matias Faldbakken Box 1 lithograph, 2014; flattened cardboard box with barcodes, folds, and wear, exploring themes of consumption and material culture.

// Matias Faldbakken’s Box 1 from 2014 is a limited-edition lithograph that captures the utilitarian aesthetics of a flattened cardboard box. With subtle details like fold lines, barcodes, and minimal printed symbols, the artwork elevates the everyday material to a point of contemplation. The plain brown surface of the cardboard, slightly worn and marked, suggests themes of consumption, disposability, and industrial design. By bringing a mundane object into an art context, Faldbakken invites viewers to rethink the visual value and stories embedded in ordinary materials often discarded. The simplicity of the piece underscores his focus on minimalist expression and societal reflections on material culture.

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
