“Humans die, color fades, the tattoos are lasered. Nothing lasts forever. But a start has been made.”
“Richthofen's CHEAP HEDONISM culminates in the immersive installation If This Is You Who Am I which consists of large-format lightboxes and a sound collage by the artist Yasmina Dexter. Painting and sound are tied together by a light effects programmed by Elias Asisi. Writing can vaguely be made out on the lightboxes but proves indecipherable because it is contaminated, obscured, and covered up by black paint. The artist's slowed-down and distorted voice emerges from the soundscape. The longer one spends time in the room, the more clearly one thinks one perceives the illegible texts on the lightboxes, and for a brief and almost entirely elusive instant it feels like one glimpses their meaning.”
The installation will be re-activated and accompanied by a live DJ set from YASMINA DEXTER. We also celebrate the release of the limited edition vinyl in collaboration with FLIPPING THE COIN, Berlin and the exhibition catalog, with an essay from ADRIANO SACK @adrianosack, excerpt above.
