In many large cities there are museums with dioramas - huge canvases dedicated mainly to historical and battle scenes. A London artist Kevin LCK within the framework of his art project Ordinary Behavior creates miniature dioramas inside technical products.
Ordinary Behavior is a series of several small pieces created by Kevin LCK based on a variety of consumer and mobile devices - TV, camera, smartphone, etc.
Each of these technical products became the basis for the creation of a miniature diorama showing the everyday life and life of ordinary people. Inside the TV you can see a living room with a bed, paintings, table, chairs and some other elements of furniture and interior.
Inside the camera, Kevin LCK housed the artist's studio with easels and canvases.
But on the basis of the iPhone, the artist created a diorama dedicated to the toilet room with a toilet, a flush barrel, paper and even a brush.
Thus, Kevin LCK makes fun of where and in what conditions one or another technical device is used. The TV is in the bedroom, being the first thing people see when they wake up and the last one when they fall asleep. The camera has replaced the painting popular in the old days, and only the one who does not have one does not go to the toilet without a mobile phone.
The artist Kevin LCK himself explains the meaning of this series of works: “Ordinary Behavior is a project dedicated to the unhealthy relationship between man and technology in everyday life. I tried to temporarily separate the viewer from the real world in order to provide the person with space to revise and rethink how we should behave in the relationship between us, the environment and modern technology. These relationships should be much more conscious and aware."
