Dream of Old Furniture

Füsun Onur explores form, space, time and the relationships between them with an extraordinary variety of materials. Many of her works provide interpretations of space and time through rhythm and variations by translating music into a visual language. Füsun Onur’s 1985 installation "Dream of Old Furniture" transports pieces of furniture, fabric and other decorative objects from the domestic realm into a surreal dream atmosphere. These objects divorced from their original functions are transformed into imaginary beings through an interchange of parts, reflecting a rich world of imagery similar to that of Alice’s fantastical journey through the Wonderland.
