Tin Sun

starting at €90.00

Pictures and symbols resembling pictographic writing have been found in Europe on objects dating back more than 40,000 years. In ancient Egypt, pictures drawn on clay objects, hieroglyphs, are probably the best-known pictographic writing system. Pictograms are still in use today, for example in traffic signs. The meaning of this corrugated iron sun can only be guessed at. It is not an official symbol.

CONCRETE DECAY – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to this movement, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
