Guillaume Bijl started compiling his absurd assemblages from existing objects in 1987. Because he felt as though he was being ‘unfaithful’ to his realistic form, he called the works ‘Sorries’. By collecting objects related to our consumer society he assess mass culture and challenges the viewer’s sense of judgement. Aren’t we too easily led astray by the dazzling banality of consumer products?
