Some shots from my personal show ‘the exhibition is clouded’ in @surgery.gallery :) come visit until 17.04! So many thanks to Bjorn Hatleskog and @lublu_effgenka for support and patience 🫶🏻 Shoreditch is luv, see u there :) For this presentation, I transformed the exhibition surface into one large-scale artwork, extending my signature Steampun-k series beyond the conventional frame. The gallery’s showcase windows become a single unified object - a vast expanse of misted glass bearing traces of fleeting communication. The casual finger drawings on fogged mirrors or glass have no relation to the original steampunk genre. Instead, I playfully pun on the term, reinterpreting it through a new visual language. Here, the gallery’s transparency turns into opacity. The street and the exhibition space are separated by a veil of condensation - one that instinctively invites the viewer to peer beyond it. The title itself, The Exhibition Is Clouded, functions both as a description and a visual pun, announcing its own obscurity. Beneath the title, schematic rectangular frames are drawn as if outlining pictures on a wall - a playful suggestion that these are, in fact, the artworks on display. The remaining drawings in the installation evoke what passersby and local residents, children, hooligans, and I myself might have scrawled had this been real fogged glass. on view temporarily permanently only 🌬️🌫️
