Valentin Carron's *Gefoltert* presents a deceptively crafted object that blurs the line between authentic material and convincing simulation, using styrofoam, fibreglass, resin, and acrylic to mimic surfaces and forms that appear to carry weight and history. The work engages with Carron's broader interest in reproduction, cultural signifiers, and the uncanny nature of objects stripped of their original context. Through its layered construction, the piece questions authenticity, value, and the ways meaning is assigned to material things.
