Our Ghosts

2021

Performance

5 pickle jars, plastic valves

in collaboration with Karla Nilzén as part of ‘ALL THAT’S SOLID, A LIE!’ on the occasion of OBSESSED! Jewellery Festival
at 4bid Gallery Amsterdam, 27-28 November 2021

Five pickle jars on the floor. No pickles. Instead ghosts*, sometimes appearing when we bend down to kiss and blow into the valves that close after entering a ghost; A suggestion to catch and keep whatever comes in, although obvious it is futile.

*Our ghost is the hope for permanence. Our ghost is still hanging around somewhere between existing and not existing. Our ghost is the idea of temporary solidity.
