REALITY HUNGER
2018
5cm (x6000cm), printed packing tape on concrete wall and floor, installation variable
font: Sans Forgetica Regular
tape type 1: essence of real
tape type 2: hyper fake porn
"Biopic: spit-shined, streamlined narrative; caricature as character; hyper-fake as a way to get at essence
of real –
exactly reminiscent in all these ways of porn."
In Reality Hunger, some keywords of David Shields’ book (with the same title) got isolated, rearranged
and
printed as a loop on packing tape. Reality Hunger, with its function as a line, cuts and comments the
exhibition
space.
The text fragments ask some serious questions about their own existence as aesthetic objects, which
remain
unanswered.
