Lin Gerkman (1995, Slovenia) graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, where he is currently pursuing his Master’s degree. In addition to design, he works in the field of visual arts. His work is concerned with finding meaning in found objects and everyday situations and with exploring current events and the remnants of recent history that shape them. In his work, he utilizes different types of found objects and archival materials that he uses for creating entirely new works or combining them into newly constructed pieces. He is interested in understanding the individual’s relationship to the home, the impact of social transitions, and the relationship between the political and the private.
