Taming the Hobbyhorse

“I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life” – said the fox in The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. We are desperately alone in this world, in a constant search for genuine connections and relations. My series (2019-2020) is about acknowledgment of hobby as a phenomenon that ‘tames’ us. The hobbyhorse, a self-made toy, appropriates us, requires constant interaction and development, influences, nourishes, fosters the sense of uniqueness, encourages diversity in oneself.
