Nature, despite all our attempts to curb it, in some cases there is still enough dangerous to humans … It is this essence that she considers in a series of her works. Harm Less Austrian artist Sonia Rentsch.
Artist Sonia Rensch is well known to contemporary art lovers for her conceptual artwork, created in collaboration with photographer Scott Newett. An example of her previous work is the Dinner Etiquette art project, in which she dressed the cutlery in elegant evening suits.
A new series of works from Sony Rench, Harm Less, examines the deadly power of nature. Within its framework, the artist created several copies of weapons from a variety of plant elements. Here we can see a pistol, a revolver and cartridges for them, a grenade with a check and some other "dangerous toys" made of stems, roots, wood, leaves and other similar materials.
True, each of them does not pose any real danger to humans, as the name of the Harm Less series says (Harmless). The same cannot be said about nature, which, in fact, can be deadly cruel.
Sonya Rensch claims that in her work she tries to find beauty in anything, even in pain and violence. And her art project Harm Less is just another clear proof of these words. After all, a person himself often treats nature without due respect, forcing it and destroying it. Therefore, one should not be surprised that nature sometimes gives us backsliding.
A series of works Harm Less was created by artist Sonya Rensch specially for the January Biannual website, conceived as a platform for the implementation of the most daring and extraordinary art projects of both young artists and venerable classics.
