Unexpected characteristics to traditional materials introduce stimulating spatial mutations. Francis Bacon comments on this inevitable replacement that enriches the experience of an action. In one of his paintings he represents a foot opening a door (instead of a hand that would make sense to everyone). He is convinced that if you represent a particular action by replacing a common feature of the action with an unexpected one, the experience of this action becomes even more powerful.
