Function/ Non-function

 'The Gift' Man Ray


'The Bicycle' Marcel Duchamp

These two sculptures are taken from such familiar items that we think we know what their function is, but they have been altered in such a way that they completely loose this function and in the case of Man Ray's 'Gift' become the opposite of what they were, and the title 'Gift' becomes ironic.
