In the exhibition 'Movables', Studio Knob creatively transforms iconic ORTIZ sardine cans into miniature sculptural suitcases, prompting a dialogue about memory and movement. This innovation arose from inspiration encountered in Tel Aviv's Levinsky Market, where visitors are presented with diverse goods. By enhancing the ORTIZ tin with custom pieces, the artists reinterpret it as a travel object, inviting viewers to engage with the themes of emotional and physical displacement, and to reflect on the layers of identity tied to memory and mobility. The exhibition also acknowledges pressing issues such as food security and environmental concerns.
The artists approached the ORTIZ sardine can as an object wanting to move, adding elements like handles and corner guards to transform it into a travel item.
The project invites viewers to interact and engage, pondering how even mass-produced objects hold unique stories and memories of displacement.
