Paradox Of Choice
In a disorienting landscape, five men flex their muscles in disembodied mirror selfies, objectifying themselves for short-term consumption. Despite their efforts to stand out, they become indistinguishable; by revealing everything, they disclose nothing. The result is a disillusionment and alienation that is inherent in the superficial world of online dating.
For the mute BODY exhibition closing exhibition during the PILOTENKUECHE residency, viewers were invited to take a selfie in the mirror installed to the right of the canvas, immersing into the indistinguisable universe.
