Eric Trine Los Angeles studio
24 / 25

Trine made this truncated tetrahedron structure out of brackets and closet dowels. “At a recent studio show I set it up and put a lounge in it. You can see what I’m using or interested in because it will populate a week’s worth of Instagram posts as a prop. Around Christmas, I was hanging my chairs from that and shooting them.” On Instagram, Trine has also become known for his #fridayfancydance, which started as a joke but “snowballed into this thing. It’s responsible for a large part of my following on Instagram.” Though he began to worry it was distracting, he now sees it as “studio momentum” and a reaction against self-seriousness. “Everybody’s so conscious about being really cool with the way they mediate themselves online. I’m just gonna do this and when it stops being fun I won’t.”
