PALISADE, 2021
Solo exhibition at Hošek Contemporary as part of the Hošek Contemporary Prize 2021, Berlin DE.
PALISADE explores the vulnerabilities and helplessness of humans from different perspectives, addressing both those who aspire to shield things inside and others who seek to protect themselves from the outside world. An armour has historically served to protect an individual from danger and assaults from the surrounding environment. In the context of PALISADE, an armour is not merely a barrier or protective layer against external attacks; similar to a membrane, it also seals in what is kept inside, as sometimes not speaking up is a survival mechanism. Consequently, this raises the questions of who is meant to be protected and from what.
