Untitled (Young is Better Than Old) is a continuation of Matias Faldbakken’s recent series of works made by writing on canvas, paper and walls in black isolation tape. One word or a sentence is layered on top of itself, obscuring the message and making it illegible. Suppressing language in favour of this mute visual gesture the work explores the conflict between text and image.
