// Matias Faldbakken’s Box 3 from 2014 is a limited-edition lithograph that reflects on the aesthetics of industrial materials and the everyday object. Depicting a flattened cardboard box with printed text and barcode details, the artwork brings a mundane object into the realm of fine art. The composition highlights the creases, labels, and taped edges of the cardboard, evoking themes of consumer culture, disposability, and the utilitarian beauty of packaging materials. By elevating a common item to a work of art, Faldbakken invites viewers to consider the overlooked elements of daily life and the hidden narratives within objects that are often discarded.

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.
