Press Release
Simple figures, represented by geometric shapes like cuboids and cylinders, covered in primary colors + green, with basic signifiers for eyes (two dots) are mapped out on an unspecified field, and seen as if through a filter, in motion, substance-induced, blurred or stuck.
They are staged in surreal, dreamlike scenarios – noncoherent, a draft of a script with unintelligible content. In single images or series of varying lengths resembling slides or filmstrips, the figures (per)form exhibits, not unlike the evidence formally introduced in legal proceedings. Are they individuals, members of a group (gang), representatives of a society, or rather city scapes, nation states, systems, instrumental bodies of failing democracies? Is this a children’s game? A psychological test-run or soul dissection? Are we witnessing a crime? A theatre play? Something funny, hilarious even? No clear picture emerges. A game of domination – clownish, scary, the stuff of nightmares.
