In a humoristic and naive manner, Jonas Lipps feeds his daily observations with critical elements, by following a post ready-made attitude. In “Rucksack”, the installed backpacks are filled with old, faded advertisement, appearing as student´s papers, or leaflets. An important element, attached to the used backpacks, are latex silhouettes of soft toys. Like ghosts, the hanging, outworn casts could be a memory of a fading youth culture, or an element of a lost childhood.
