EASY LIVING, solo show, LindeNow#15, Leipzig, 2019

CATEGORY BOARD // HUMAN BEINGS / No. 3.1, soft PVC, cut, digital print

IMAGE POSITIV / NEGATIVE, cardboard

The works in the CATEGORY BOARDS series make a variety of assertions in terms of content and form. On the one hand, a subjective attribution of identities and associated attributes is made, which reproduce existing clichés and prejudices without comment. On the other hand, the works formally remind one of contexts of museum documentations or educational panels, and thus project a supposedly justified claim to truth.
Kobus plays with an exaggerated reduction of social complexity.

As a producer of subjective constructions of reality, Kobus questions perceptions of social phenomena. She furthermore discusses the significance of status symbols for the identification of individuals.
