Melchior is working in between the fields of design, art, and fictional science. Material and methodology are the two legs of her exploratory practise. Taking an interest in erosional processes in nature, she uses sand to create form through different exposing forces; this to enable a dialogue between man and material; between control and, not chance, but physical rhythms we will never fully understand. 

The title of this exhibition alludes to the known illustration by Rudolph Zallinger from 1965, showing a homo sapiens step by step evolution into a human. Where the illustration ends, the narrative in which designer and artist Kajsa Melchior works, start. The narrative of when a man stopped walking and started to surround himself with functional objects.

The exhibition is to be seen as a milestone of an ongoing artistic exploration, in which Melchior runs an artistic research with a design critical approach that elaborates on issues such as how to define the border of an object’s functionality, beauty, and purpose.
