Pyjama Party in the Belly of the Whale, installation, 2022
donated textile, second-hand stuffing, MDF plates, wood, clothes rack. Variable dimensions
The solo show project utlizes leggings and sleeves cut from clothes gifted to the author. The result is an immersive interactive installation, which takes up the whole gallery space. Visitors are free to play and transform the space, or just sit and relax in it.
"Pyjama Party in the Belly of the Whale reflects a desire for softness and permeability, for responsiveness to movement, change and chance. As the whale’s belly is an alive and lived interior, which embraces the un-comfortability of eroding fluids and inevitable demise, the whaled institution allows for the metabolization of mistake and disorder, too. Ultimately, this exhibition is a murmured wish upon an art institution’s body that is spacious, porous, and able to maintain an ever-adapting temperature of its own."
Chiara Cartuccia, curator
