Call Someone

There are moments when an object stops doing what it seems to promise. This gap between expectation and reality is where this exhibition begins. It brings together works that appear functional yet remain out of reach. They are connected by a condition of brokenness — a minor shift that moves them from one register to another. Witnesses of such disruptions often experience as a sense of awkwardness, a subtle unease that arises when something goes wrong. We feel the dissonance of seeing the order violated. This sensation generates a dual response: a desire to look away and pretend nothing happened, and at the same time a need to call someone who can restore order, to return the object to what it seemed to promise by its image.
