Art design?
There are several threads to Lagombra's engagement. The laidback visuals influenced by street-style, ready-made, low-tech and DIY, is one. Another
pose
several itchy questions; is it a reminder about the need for the individual to shape and build whatever needed? Is the emphasis on the metamorphosis
of the
materials, thus trying to liberate the shapes and solutions from a typical design-protocol?
Basically, he is processing a multitude of schemes simultaneously. Much is of course about the very manufacturing. What if, as Lagombra suggests, the
full
logistic line, from materials and production down to the individual consumer, could be seen as a subcontractor supporting new concepts, instead of
just
handing them out for consumption. Could for example Ikea's knock-down concept evolve into something giving the individual more impact, than
putting
parts together with an allen-key?
Like some kind of consumerism hi-jacked, the buyers partly taking over a typical hierarchic system. What then?
There is something tempting in his works and his thoughts. It's also about him trying to update the much debated ideas about bodily intelligence,
meaning
there are things that can be reached through intuition rather than through conscious work. Lagombra clearly illustrates his thought's about a new order
where
perceived complicated things can be pushed through and made simple. That intuition and improvisation are valid means. There is a multitude of
solutions to
be set alongside. To use concepts and material together and make them interlace without consideration. All to your own fashion and likes
