Middernacht & Alexander unearth forgotten materials - buried oil tanks, corroded metals, remnants of earth and tar - and lift them into the light. What was once discarded and contaminated is not erased, but transformed: preserved in translucent layers of epoxy, reshaped into functional objects that are also sculptural relics. Their Collection, Terra Atlas, is a poetic mapping of what lies beneath.
About the artists
With a keen interest in the uncomfortable relationship between intimacy and voyeurism, Middernacht & Alexander thrive on investigating the psychological aspects of everyday life. Perception is a major theme, as are time, conservation and the human condition. Middernacht & Alexander were duo artists which now create work individually, Sofie Middernacht as "Middernacht".
