Sorry, 2014
Each work in Guillaume Bijl’s ‘Sorry’ series is a surreal, absurd and humorous assemblage of found objects. By extracting kitsch elements from everyday reality and reframing them as art, Bijl interrogates the values of mass culture. This work is constructed from plastic consumer goods and refers to a world that runs (wildly) on sugar, coffee and alcohol.
