… and suddenly everything changes: Phase II

Haegue Yang: VIP’s Union – Phase II, Surrender 15.02. – 02.04.2018 Space02

We cannot take seat on them anymore,
they have lost their practical value.
The tilted furnishings are a symbol
for losing ground,
for tripping and stumbling.
Is this the point of surrender?
Or merely control relinquished?
Instead of neatly groomed surfaces
we see the bottom side of things.
