Her Theory of Everything

AuthorByron 29 December 2009 Comments

Fresh from graduation, Swedish Illustrator Karin Rönmark's 'Theory of Everything' is currently on show at Designhuis, a part-drawn, partly constructed story of Everything. Perfect for end of year contemplation I thought.

Foreworded with the poetry of cosmology, the Theory of Everything narrates:

'the universe started out in a state of PERFEKT SYMMETRY, with all the forces infied into a single force. The universe was BEAUTIFUL, SYMMETRICAL, but rather useless. LIFE AS WE KNOW IT COULD NOT EXIST IN THIS PERFECT STATE. In order for the possibility of life to exist the symmetry of the universe had to BREAK.'

And so the world of Life As We Know It unfolds, in snowcapped peaks where designers perch over lamp-lit tables, and stalactites like potatoes, even bigger than the mountains loom overhead, and comets tear between them, and clouds of eyes and words are blown by, in the Theory of Everything.
