// Matias Faldbakken’s Box 4 from 2014 is a limited-edition lithograph that explores themes of consumerism, industrial design, and minimalism. This artwork presents a flattened cardboard box with minimalistic black line details, resembling the bare essentials of packaging. Faldbakken’s approach to depicting such a mundane object transforms it into a subject of contemplation, elevating the overlooked materials of everyday life into art. The simplicity and rawness of the cardboard surface, along with printed symbols and barcodes, reflect society’s relationship with consumption, waste, and utility. This piece subtly invites viewers to reconsider the aesthetics of ordinary objects and the narratives embedded within industrial forms.

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.
