Hannes Schievink

As an artist suffering from scoliosis, minding one's posture and getting good support is very important for maintaining the body. The chair in RYGGSMÄRTOR was chosen purely on its aesthetic qualities and offers terrible support.
In RYGGSMÄRTOR Hannes Schievink challenges the relationship an 'owner' has to their objects. In this relation, choices are made about 'form over function' or 'function over form'. Sometimes even to a harmful extent.
