Within Ece Bayram’s sculptures, the objects which have been transformed into materials have their initial meaning and purpose disrupted with subtle manipulations, which open them up to speculative narratives. The practicality of the objects being stripped off highlights their agency and their potentials.
Objects that are functional are rendered unusable, thus having their initial purpose disrupted to explore their materiality and possible narratives. This disruption of constructs creates unfamiliar scenarios with familiar objects, which is followed by a new assertive reconstruction of the meaning. These scenarios and narratives can be ambiguous, free from one subjectivity and can be imposed onto the sculptures. Architectural elements and familiar objects such as shoes, tiles and parquet flooring come together to create fictive spaces, in which they humorously play with push and pull of desire, the interchange of real images and constructed images, the pristine and the abject.
