This is a dystopian landscape. The objects on top of the ice block represent 102 years of art history. Starting from Duchamp’s fountain (1917), passing through Warhol’s banana (Velvet underground and Nico 1967) to Cattelan’s “Comedian”(2019). A complete century of giving artistic and aesthetic meaning to objects. The scene, a polar seascape. Two discussions concerning serious and trivial subjects. The piece has as many lectures as you wish. From deliberate consumerism, to minimalism, to the question of what is really essential. These objects are drawn and painted in the most traditional way, oil on canvas, (no solvents used), re-placed from the galleries (criticizing the art market) to a not promising scenario in nature. The context changes and forces the viewer to look at them for their utilitarian and functional work. Not for an aesthetic but a practical performance. They are part of our past, the ice block is the present, and the water in liquid state, is the future. If you were standing on that ice floor, waiting to be rescued, you would eat the comedian, pee on the fountain as a symbol of dignity, drink water or ice and maybe use the tape to suffocate yourself. These objects (with exception of the banana) would still pollute the seabed. In the other hand, no matter the kind, art should be a right. This is why the statement is ambivalent and dual. You can make your own lecture. This piece was selected in London art biennale 2021.
