You won`t feel a thing
New publication by Wyspa Institute of Art and Kunsthaus Dresden
To order email sekretariat@wyspa.art.pl
States of uncertainty, undefined fears, cracks in perception, irrational behaviors, unshaped longings for relief that never comes or comes too late. Self-harm, medications, meditations and anesthetis. Purposeless rituals, desire without need. Rootless obsessions and incurable panic attacks. “You won’t feel the thing” captures the state of mind of the individual under the pressure of contemporary reality. A reality fractured by fraudulent, stimulated, collective consciousnesses, of false prophets and failed social projects, marked by crises of both rationality and spirituality
In reaction to this situation, overwhelmed by panic, obsession or the desire for anesthesia, individuals perform personal rituals that extend, suspend or freeze time to allow themselves to experience their private selves. Ignoring the all-pervasive social relations that generally frame and inform the self, this exhibition looks inward to focus on internal and personal reality. It tracks the uncertain sensations, perceptual gaps and slight cracks in reality. It approaches fear on the level on which it might pass unnoticed. It is heading toward the places where satisfaction, success and pleasurable addictions and consumption are no longer able to cure the unbearable disintegration of self.
