To lose sight of the object allows one to enter into the non-objective, where nothing can be verified or shown. The facts are no longer facts, words no longer have referents, images are altered. Inobjectivity is a world free of objects and, consequently, of any constraints.
Animated by a refrigerator pump, a soft form has the ability to turn over and flee the gaze of the other. Rather than cool the air, the altered appliance expires and inspires the soft form through an opening in the gallery wall. When viewers enter the exhibition space, their prying eyes cannot size up the anthropomorphic form; it in-forms itself and holes up into the wall as an improbable animal. Lost Object shows almost nothing, a soft sculpture that escapes our grasp and the black hole left behind.
