// Matias Faldbakken’s Box 2 from 2014 is a limited-edition lithograph that takes an everyday object—a flattened cardboard box—and transforms it into a subject of artistic inquiry. The print captures the structural details of the box, including printed symbols, barcodes, and fold lines, with minimalistic precision. Through this depiction, Faldbakken elevates the aesthetics of utilitarian packaging materials, inviting viewers to consider the themes of consumption, disposability, and the overlooked beauty in industrial design. By focusing on something as ordinary as a cardboard box, Faldbakken challenges perceptions of value and the role of mundane objects in contemporary life.

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.
