Toril Rygh combines old images with new materials. Photocopies of old medical drawings, drawings that show partly dissected bodies, are connected to three-dimensional objects on the gallery floor. The connecting plastic tubes, between the pictures and objects, are associated with medical equipment. As you move closer you notice that they also have a function of transmitting air between the objects and pictures. On examining the pulsating objects, you notice the tongue-in-cheek attitude with which they have been put together. Toril uses found, discarded materials for her art objects, but this art-historical practice of the objet trouvé has taken a turn towards uneasiness as the artworks are closely linked to the body.
