‘Open Screen Unit’ On the floor sits the outline of an eight sided incomplete cube comprised of 2.5cm metal tubing and stands 135cm. Its form recalls Marcel Breuer’s ‘Cesca’ chair. A thin mesh fabric is draped over this frame. The mesh has a 2mm grid and from a distance, looks translucent. The mesh covers 3 sides, front, top and back. A piece of equally sized backlit film is sewn to the backside. This side of cube has a video of the mesh itself projected onto it. The sculpture is positioned at the exact distance from the projector so that the video’s pixels are the same size as the mesh. A soft black line is overlaid in the video, leaving what looks like a shadow of the frame.

Not titled or marked On one side of a white pillar in the center of the gallery, There is a painting which is a first hardly visible. Upon closer inspection, one sees a transparent blue gel or paint has been gutturally applied to the surface itself. It is roughly 2 meters tall starting 20cm above the floor and ending 20cm below the ceiling. Up close the viewer smells some combo of shitty perfume and shampoo. It is soon deduced that this is just hair gel smeared on the pillar, a hair gel wall painting.

Sisyphus Sisyphus is a grainy standard definition video shown on a small monitor. The camera shakily follows a person down a frozen pathway at night seemingly in a park. The person in a hooded coat approaches a lamppost on his left and kicks it very hard. The light is instantly out and the frame is dark. You hear the crunching of footsteps on the ice and a few moments later the individual approaches another lamp. On the second kick it is out and pitch black except a red light. Under a minute later, the lamp flickers back on and the camera is passed from the filmer to the kicker as they both try to kick out the lamp again and fail.
