Defining Moment:

Early 2000s — collapse as critique; order clarified

Faldbakken built a world where order disobeys itself.

His installations of broken furniture and compressed form reenact rebellion through precision.

‍

In his world, collapse reveals structure.

Structural Focus

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Matias Faldbakken’s work, this approach appears where refusal presses against material limits.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Everyday materials disrupt conventional meaning and authorship.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.
