Yngve Holen works with industrially manufactured objects of the contemporary world. While using elements of cars, border fences or MRI-scanners, he reveals the power relations and hierarchies behind the goods: We are what we produce. Isolated from the actual context of use and without reference to the human, the purposive nature of the things selected by him becomes all the more obvious. In TALK with the Boros Collection Yngve Holen explains his working practice and the absurdity of a belief in the goods of our time.
