Fluid Asking Series - Who is X
-
X is a Mannequin. He has worked for Gap for more than 10 years, but because of the rise of e-commerce and the covid-19 pandemic, he was abandoned and sold by Gap for $10.
X who was born of, for and above all to flatter capitalist ideals and is now rejected by the very system he served.
I took him home.
Together with several artists we created a second life of possibilities for X outside the system and yet, perhaps part of another system. Nevertheless, a life of his own outside of capitalism.
In the interaction between X and these artists, X gained his own memory; while at the same time becoming a mirror – reflecting the fragility and anxiety of these artists and ordinary people alike.
