There are only a few days left to visit mentalKLINIK’s Generated Dreams exhibition at Sabrina Amrani Gallery, Madrid! The exhibition, featuring works such as Billie and Valentine, will be open to visitors until November 19.
Billie and Valentine: two haunting, hollow human figures. They sit in stillness, indifferent and oblivious to our presence, detached from the world around them. Their bodies curl inward, faces hidden behind curtains of hair. Untouchable. Clad in the latest fashion, their appearance is meticulous even though their bodies appear to be of no use. Screens have nearly replaced physical experience, with avatars living out our lives on our behalf. Happiness in an instagram post, click-and-share indignation, online activism, immaterial shopping bags and digital hook-ups; everything quantifiable in likes and visibility. Human awareness becomes a mere hallucination.
