Simon Berg goes in tune with the nature of things. In a close reading of the physical properties of the objects, he visualises the specific attractiveness and gives them a heightened sharpness. The raw becomes poetic, the hard becomes delicate, and what appears to be banal may prove to be the essence of existence.
