Thomas Eyck Aldo Bakker - Brocca - t.e. 066, water carafe - Porcellana
The porcelain water carafe does not stand on the table, but it lies horizontally. The user should pay attention carefully to the sound and weight of the object to know when he should stop filling. Due to the large pouring spout the water stream from the carafe resembles a waterfall. The contents of the carafe are 700 ml.
Aldo Bakker (1971) propagates the idea that objects possess and provoke emotions from the user, and that they can communicate by association, touch, texture and materiality. His work was meant to raise questions and activate reactions. He writes: 'My objects need to create their own space around them, in order to define their context themselves. I doubt their meaning and hence their use. In the ideal situation, the object gets a status which legitimises itself, independent of its surroundings. '
The water carafe is part of the permanent collection of the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.
