We were both very interested in the idea of a constructed reality and that was the starting point for the works we created for the exhibition. We started working on this exhibition through a long correspondence over Google docs. The correspondence was about everything and anything that interested us, but in the end we landed on the unreliability and fragility of reality, how a lot of it is based on some agreements we have no influence over and how the real is a construction.

We wanted to apply our line of thought into the way we approached the space, to see if we would be able to construct a space in the space itself. We did this by making walls out of a very ugly green wallpaper, thereby physically implementing and giving the borders of a constructed reality. An exhibition is after all a form of a different reality itself, very literally constructed. It has its own space with its own rules about how to act and perceive, sometimes unspoken rules and sometimes enforced.

There was a second part to the exhibition. Our works were made of unbaked clay and after their time inside was over, we decided to let them 'roam free' outside, underneath Giuseppe Penone's sculpture Elevazione. After a couple of rainy nights, the works had completely dissolved. |
