Exquisite Corpses, 2024.
The drawings, the photographs, and the drawings in them, were reflected in a tangle of “mirrors” of themselves, appearing in different forms, or in the exact same appearance: becoming mutations, domestic events of disasters. Figures in the form of body parts have then appeared scattered and divided over and over again in different occurrences and appearances; emerging like a brutally abused Exquisite Corpse. Not only in name, I thought, but in the action itself, the Exquisite Corpse is dark and frightening—an attachment appearing as disassemblement. Disassembly in fact seemed to promise the application of logic: to contain the horrific and logical, and to offer through dissecting, an unnatural antithesis. Absent of space of their own, the drawings were forced to take upon themselves the space in which they were placed—in what I thought of as a literal reconstitution of the drawing to space. Ostensibly, liminality in the works could have had the power to enable the actual presence of the pictorial. With their sprawled appearance within the photographs, physical spaces were opened inside of the boxes: layered, circular and numerous. Now, several events were appearing in several parallel locations, in several parallel or non-parallel spaces, or one event that is split across several spaces and accordingly dependent on several spaces.
