Bless You

22 June - 19 July

A "dead cat strategy" is a term for deliberately creating a distraction, to shift focus away from negative news or issues. It is a tactic used in politics and media to divert attention. 

When there is nowhere to turn to because neoliberalism is eating away at peace, freedom, equity - basic human rights – look at some beanbag beads on a copper string, surrounded by mesmerizing, reflective vinyl. 

Diversion from political context is the offer, cradling the viewer in some soft mental disengagement. Nothing, of course, can beat endless scrolling, our Feed feeding us with one repetitive prayer: More is more - and who even are you if you have not gotten your hands on a Labubu yet?
