Edition 2018

Christto & Andrew

ENCRYPTED PURGATORY

Metronom, Modena, Italy

In this work, Christto & Andrew present us with various scenes that reveal a nostalgia for the mediatic image of an allegorical future. Exploring the idea of reality, time and its construction through fiction, built by the impulse of the show and its illusion. As if the past and the present had collapsed, in their images there is a duality between the primitive and the new technologies of the digital age that question objective reality. The work of Christto & Andrew poetically evokes a concern for ideas of the future, ideas of uniqueness and new technologies.
