firstly exhibited in Sep 2017 @Berg by Nordan Art
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of what is worthy.
NON-PERISHABLE was my first exhibition in Second Life. The whole process was such a breakthrough that inspired me to found the GBTH project a month after its opening, like a gateway drug that I had to be able to share with others.
Each container holds distinct groups of objects I can relate to, and the description can be found below their entrance. The familiarity with those big colorful metal boxes come from the fact I was born in a port city, and by coincidence or not, I made another port city my home. I always asked myself what could be inside them.
On the screenshots displayed, the same woman is portrayed under different personas; from trauma (birth) until the unavoidable (death). The visitor is invited to enter, inspect and interact with what, for some, can be seen as a “neat way to organize your inventory”, and for others, an obsessed way of coordinating non-perishable objects in monochromatic containers.
I would like to thank:
Vally Lavender for the generosity, ever going support and opportunity to display NON-PERISHABLE once again;
Smoopa Spinotti for the poster, graphics, late night laughs and text review;
Agustkov for the containers and the special white one.
I would also like to thank, in alphabetical order, Andraus Thor, Cerridwen Keneinan, Eduardo Hyx, Kate Bergdorf, Lux Chiantelle, moon Edenbaum, Tab Tatham, Twain Decosta and William Weaver.
