Micheal says: “I am fascinated walking around flea markets finding doubles of seemingly unique, though often useless objects I have already purchased at another flea market. Despite the fact that I did not have any use for them even the first time, the desire to own two of these objects becomes too strong to resist. The unique and unknown origin of the object increases my desire to want the double – the unlikelihood of this sensation repeating itself produces an attraction that is too strong to resist.”
I found myself looking at each installation for couple of long minute, trying to recognize the objects and find the similarity between one work to another.
What I like about his works is that although the objects in the same block got nothing in common other than the same color scheme, they match up perfectly in their place and look like they actually belong together.

Looks so clean and chic, great color combinations: monochrome but with enough contrast in the arrangement to keep the eye interested!
