Pink Dusts

2019 | Various dimensions | Moisture resistant MDF cutouts, acrylic paint, underwear, light fittings, wiring, PVC, LED strip with controller, metal fixings

Solo exhibition at Antoine Levi, Paris, running from 5 September through 13 October, 2019.

Intro

The point of departure is Polvos Rosados, a Lima shopping center made up of hundreds of small, self-run stalls selling everything from candy to pirated DVDs. Its LED strips and flashing screens radiate a sense of modernity that sits uneasily against the precarity holding it all together. In this ceiling installation, the merchandise of a female underwear stall takes on loosely anthropomorphic forms, giving the market's glow a body.

Live session

To accompany the light-emitting rhythm, Brussels-based composer Charlie Usher (1987, UK) has composed the exhibition's soundtrack, which he will play live during the opening.
