LV EGGS

The Displacement

LV Eggs is a 3D animation rendered with the V-Ray engine in 3ds Max as part of The Displacement Trilogy. This piece investigates Bill Brown’s “Thing Theory,” which underscores the intrinsic importance of objects beyond their mere functionality. Brown’s theory proposes that objects can transcend their practical use to gain symbolic and narrative significance, becoming active agents.

In LV Eggs, an unexpected juxtaposition is created by combining the luxury of Louis Vuitton leather with the simplicity of ordinary eggs. This blend challenges the anthropocentric perspective, asserting that objects possess their inherent reality and significance. The artwork illustrates how the eggs, adorned with the luxurious texture of Louis Vuitton leather, engage in complex interactions, altering our perception of the world in surprising ways.

This piece highlights the transformative potential of objects, encouraging viewers to reassess the intrinsic value and agency of the material entities around us. LV Eggs invites a deeper contemplation of how objects can independently shape and redefine our understanding of reality.
