// 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 Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
