GRIMM is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Elias Sime's Tightrope: Concave Triangle #6 (2020) by the Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf (DE).
Elias Sime started making the Concave Triangles in 2019. At the time, he was expanding on his earlier Tightrope series, expressing his appreciation of and apprehension towards electronic technology.
The concaved shape represents unity, collaboration and love. In reality, the pieces are created individually, but symbolically they represent a sphere split in pieces. Each piece is covered with electric wires, dead watches, keyboards, and motherboards narrating different contemporary stories about current issues.
Sime says that his work is about the need to slow down and question how these communication devices consume our time. He sees them as both productive and destructive. “When we walk slow...” he said, “...we see more. When we talk less, we learn more.”
