SATELLITE 2016

India & London, 2016

Adornments for Performance

Dear Viewer,
To begin with, we would like to launch five satellites from the base, to orbit around
It is less about the destination (it doesn’t have one) and more about the journey (of which it’s
a fun one)
Works are created with the individual & cumulative influences of the satellites in imagined
starry nights

Satellite 1.0
THE ROCKET JOCKEY
The first satellite contains instructions on how to pick up signals and create a personal rocket. The fuel for the work, so to speak, because sometimes, we ought to feel like we are at the centre of our own private universes. Be your own Astro-Trooper, gliding in and out of the orbits that surround you. The overall feel and mood corresponds to the self-accepting and fun-loving spirit of this satellite


Satellite 2.0
EIGHTEASE
It's nice when a rocket can time travel. Snippets of the 80s, that zeitgeist-y bracket in time, is what the second satellite greases its propellers with. Nothing sums up perfection in aesthetic imperfection quite like the dizzying halcyon splendour that was the Eighties. It was the last decade that wasn't gentrified by the tech boom- and the decade that gave us fashion staples that are re-invented season after season. This rocket loves all eras, but the chronological pit-stop for this collection could only be found by going back to the future


Satellite 3.0
LOCOMOTION
Life today is all about digitising life itself. From the number of footsteps to the total of jogged kilometres; from the weight of a device to the total calories inside a salad. Everything can be recorded. Numbers are sexy. Satellite 3.0 is the sexy mathematician. Let's gets metaphysical


Satellite 4.0
E-in-MOTION
This particular satellite has been programmed to capture that wistful sentiment, that hazy feeling most non-rockets call Romance. 4.0 has been constructed with lace and wires. It's brooding, it's melancholy and it's waiting for someone. It doesn't know who, it doesn't respond to questions of technical jargon. It's a state of mind, noir & blanc pools with pastel flowers on its banks. It orbits around in a steady pace, and picks shooting stars and covers them in lace

Satellite 5.0
Earth Etc.
The fifth, and last satellite, is a time capsule that contains things found on Earth.
Inside this rocket, everything is high on stardust energy, musically charged and fashionably fit. These pieces have been made with love-bytes, laughter (IRL & emoji) and solar, as well as artificial, light

Come witness this and imbibe the spirit of what’s traversing across the sky

An invitation to a free-spirited tomorrow
Where to be, is to be Free

So get moving : send a ping, a beep, a mail, a tweet, a text…
Because the best party is always the one that’s coming up next!
