A used fire blanket becomes a screen, cut-up camping mats and rubber flip flops are turned into the floats of a fishing net. Fattening food for bodybuilders is kneaded into salt dough and shaped into marbled climbing grips. The shimmering texture of a carbon-fiber mat (used to cover a motorcycle helmet) forms a special alliance with black snakeskin, while a stretched-out universe has been dumped below the cabinet that these two objects are displayed in. This exhibition is deliberately reminiscent of the ignorant chaos of a flea market, and also – again intentionally – a parody of those dreadful esoteric promises of happiness that of course only take effect once people with superstitious natures buy them.
