Pierre Pourveur: Apostrophes

Pierre Pourveur shows a whole series of unusual perspectives; his apostrophe wanders into ever new situations. Enjoy the ride!

This artwork is part of our campaign "Perspective matters". With start'19 in mind, we asked artists what they saw in the apostrophe from our event logo – or if it even is an apostrophe in their eyes. The responses to this call for entries revealed a multitude of perspectives that we want to share with our readers. More information about the campaign can be found HERE. 

Pierre Pourveur's Apostrophe wanders through different contexts, always exposing itself to new perspectives and situations - and in the end, it learns something about itself. Maybe we can learn something from it as well. Or what do you see?

Are you inspired by this perspective? Don’t hesitate to show your own, then! To get you started we have prepared a craft template – download it HERE. As part of our campaign, we want to encourage everyone to look at their own perspective and maybe re-think it. While making such a small sculpture, you have the best opportunity to turn both things around: the paper sculpture and your own perspective ... we're curious to see what comes out of it! Show us your results with the hashtag #checkyourperspective
