Installation
The installation would you rest here 2 presents six halftone images screen-printed onto translucent chiffon fabric. Each print depicts a figure in a specific bodily posture. Through their transparency, the floor-length hanging textiles collage the figures into the space, as if they were leaning, bracing themselves, or sitting.
Based on a multi-day research phase by the artist in the empty exhibition space, the work raises questions about dis_comfort and the need for places of rest within exhibition contexts.
