Michael Post investigates the phenomena of perception in his objects:"My own wall objects visualize the interactions between related surfaces; they are based on precise geometric structures.". He uses steel sheets, which are painted either on both sides or on one side with acrylic paint. They are attached to the wall by means of a magnetic device, so that they protrude out of the wall as a wall relief. The perspective and perception of the artwork changes depending on the viewing angle and the lighting conditions. These interactions are intended: "Due to internal surface structures, an overall  form is created that differs from the classic image formats and enters into a dialogue with the wall surface on which it is placed."
