The work of Roman Ondak (b. 1966 in Zilina) evolves from a performative conception and consists of sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, and performance. The artist often uses found objects. His medium is the everyday and society’s sets of expectations, assumptions, automatisms, and projections that shape our perception of reality.
The copper pipes that make up this piece come from Roman Ondak‘s house in Bratislava and used to provide central heating. When they proved defective and had to be taken out, the artist submitted them to a laborious process of slicing, cutting thousands of almost equally long pieces. He devised a new order and purpose for them.
