Project COALA launches first generation of Dilemma.

It is a series of clear, shaft-like objects designed and crafted by hand. From a distance, Dilemma intrigues with its transparency and apparent fragility. Yet this transparency blurs recognition of its true shape while revealing another object trapped inside the core of each piece. Dare to come closer and the extent of this ambiguity’s potency exposes itself as a phallus-shape enclosing a knife!

Dilemma spurts insights on polarized themes: are PAIN and PLEASURE, opposed to SEX and VIOLENCE, truly extremes and how thin is the line between TABOO and SELF-EXPRESSION? Denying any resolution of these questions, Dilemma thrusts us into a position where we oscillate between ADMIRATION and DISGUST.

Dilemma is made by Project COALA in collaboration with designer Thor Dissing, photographer Bo Brinch, and model Sabine Kusk. For more information go to www.coala.dk
