Broken or punctured surfaces resemble a form of decay. Abandoned and left to become what it is in nature, dust foreshadows the destruction of Post_ Institute. Some works are seemingly protective to the space, yet have nothing to protect given its imminent destruction. ‘Prevent This Tragedy’ allows us to plunge our own consciousness into the harsh reality of contemporary issues such as image-making in society, or the ‘death of painting’ through the history of materials – charged with primal meaning. Unsettling and constantly moving, performative sculptures mirror contemporary concerns such as migration, provoking the viewer with the temporality of these objects and humanity as a whole.
