Installation view (left to right): ✨*(*) (I) /Hold me until I die in place of everything else at the very least having another nothing left to look forward to in hindsight right again, 2020, Strontium aluminate-painted ceiling light from a closed antique store, galvanized steel chain, and galvanized carabiners; as well as anonymous vitalities, fading memories, and faint recollections (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 67 x 42 x 42 cm; ✨* (*) (XXVIII), 2021, Strontium aluminate-painted ceiling light from a closed antique store, galvanized steel chain, and galvanized carabiners; as well as anonymous vitalities, fading memories, and faint recollections (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 72 x 54 x 54 cm; (theme), 2021, Flat sparkling tap water and rolled-up Ramlösa (Ramlösa Original) label within Ramlösa (Ramlösa Original) bottle (50 cl, expiration date: 09.08.2021) (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 22 x 7 x 7 cm; No indecision left undecided so as to remedially assassinate associations inhabiting concave corners. Acknowledging just how completely embarrassing what’s being acknowledged really is doesn’t make it any less embarrassing. All the while, all the less than more, resembling ever-refining self-consuming indirect cycles of insincere speculation. Lost fantasies of subjective contractility. Abetting oppression reveling in denouement, left uncharged and unable to drain its fulfilment, once, twice, thrice and for all and for no one else and so on., 2021, Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, and liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nails (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 4 x 4 x 1,5 cm; “ (...) Almost as if it shouldn’t. Telling yourself everything is going to be ok against the backdrop of the truth that nothing is, will never, could never, should never. A passing moment of refusal to see the end to the end. The refusal of what’s being negated while telling yourself over and over again that if something can’t be, then nothing isn’t going to follow in order and set up an exception just in time. Attempting to interlock at that exact point when nothing opens anew, arriving at a conclusion that can’t be shared, nor accessed in full, nor half.” †, 2021, Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, and liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nails (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 7,5 x 7,5 x 3 cm; ✨*(*) (XIII), 2021, Strontium aluminate-painted ceiling light from a closed antique store, galvanized steel chain, and galvanized carabiners; as well as anonymous vitalities, fading memories, and faint recollections (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 180 x 52 x 52 cm; “Telling yourself everything is going to be ok. Telling yourself everything is going to be ok as if it’s something worth telling yourself. (...)” †, 2021, Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, and liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nail (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 4 x 0,5 x 2,5 cm; Untitled, 2021, Graphite and ashes from a finely minced European hornet (Vespa crabro) (that just moments before it was placed in a used zip-lock bag aligned perfectly well enough with some fleeting idea of Satan in relation to Jesus Christ manifested in a crashed VOI scooter) smoked through a shotgun kiss on an evergreen meadow that smelled of iodized salt, powder from sleeping common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) wings found inside an unreturned black suit jacket rented for a funeral along with pocket lint from inside a pocket of a pair of unreturned black suit slacks rented for another funeral containing a pink rose-scented soap replica of a water lily (Odorata sulphurea grandiflora) with each letter of your name written on each unpicked petal, and select pieces of smaller grains of sand from the spaces between larger grains of sand in a broken hourglass (all adhered using a reduction of tears [produced using hopelessly romantic love songs from the late ‘90s] and rehydrated freeze-dried saliva [from a dead Stabji]) on paper (Canson “The Wall,” 220 g/m2) (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), Paper: 70 x 154 cm, acrylic frame: 90 x 174 x 0,6 cm; and ✨*(*) (II), 2021, Strontium aluminate-painted ceiling light from a closed antique store, galvanized steel chain, and galvanized carabiners; as well as anonymous vitalities, fading memories, and faint recollections (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 62 x 49 x 49; Feeble remains of all those times someone never told someone they love someone enough times. Goes without saying, not even once. Recreational fantasy toward a state of final ambivalence or wilted chives sprinkled on top of cold mashed potatoes. Not even death dies eventually. The fear of the known trumps the fear of the unknown each and every time, everybody knows everybody, there’s no escaping what’s ever so completely open, ever so relentlessly accessible. The reoccurrence of complicit fill-in-the-blank forms, perpetual miseries turned code, turned pure unsolicited abstraction, subsiding, falling, collapsing escalators toward high-security nature reserves of free-roaming regrets and missed potential, disintegration into machinic discombobulation, alien indecision, exponentially unfamiliar pain, reducible mystery and chimeric somebodiness., 2021, Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, and liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nails (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 10 x 10 x 5,5 cm; ✨* (*) (VIII), 2021, Strontium aluminate-painted ceiling light from a closed antique store, galvanized steel chain, and galvanized carabiners; as well as anonymous vitalities, fading memories, and faint recollections (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 66 x 30 x 30 cm; and No one exists on purpose all the way up until everyone ends. Disowned wreckage model in controlled freeplay momentarily exempt from asymmetrical asphyxiation as per an ambivalence of some sense of self within a real and symbolic pro-reactive psychosomatic butchering-open toward an enthusiasm-deletion-apparition belonging to lost losslessness interlaced with fading blips in a razor blade stew of cosmic oblivion. The incoherence of exo-regulatory indirect infinitely finite strains of breathless indecision. Recreation with and without decrypted out-of-placeness. Holding hands while thumbnails regenerate inaccessible unattainability., 2021, Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, and liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nails (incompletely complete with redundant disenchantments, unmended affinities, and lost connections), 5 x 5 x 3 cm
