“dopesick” sheds light on a certain social trend that has transpired with the rise of modernity and that has been further amplified by the circumstances of the pandemic - a growing tendency to withdraw. The “fil rouge” running through the exhibition is a certain whisper emanating from each piece, like the lament of a past extinction event or the withdrawal from one that has yet to hit. At the same time, the whisper ushers us to rethink or refeel the way we position ourselves in the world around us - how to engage with it, how to take better care and how to pull out of this state of dopesickness. It is a space that invites to linger in precarious and fleeting moments of encounter, yet it also invites us to look, listen and open ourselves to a new understanding of community and of ways of sharing the planet with living and non-living beings.
