Der Bote ist der Tote

Group Exhibition with Toby Christian, Paul Knight, Gianna Virginia Prein, Vika Prokopaviciute

Three messengers:
One is outfitted with bags on both shoulders, all stuffed with letters, tied together in neat packages, scrolls covered in tight lines of writing, and with small parcels and boxes. The larger packages he carries under his arms and in his hands.
The second one wears the messages on his sleeves, his jacket, he is dressed in information tailored to his shape, giving a physical presence to formless thoughts.

The third messenger is inconspicuous. He knows the message by heart, over and over he repeats it to himself until he becomes message embodied. What we receive in the end is only partly up to him, a game of Chinese Whispers. As he points in a direction, his lips closed and smiling, our gaze follows his outstretched forefinger.
