Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
Encrypted Purgatory is the new body of work presented by Christto & Andrew in their eponymous solo exhibition.
The works in this series, which include installations, photography, and mixed media, are striking for their disorienting nature. With their choice of visionary subjects, vibrant colors, and environments and objects inspired by a chimerical scenario, they create an unsettling atmosphere. Christto & Andrew’s work poetically evokes concerns about a future increasingly dominated by technology, where humanity—in its most dehumanized version—is entirely controlled by an artificial mind. As in an ‘encrypted purgatory,’ the visitor finds themselves disoriented, suspended in a time that can only be vaguely imagined, with access codes that one may try to write, but which are uncertain in unlocking doors of understanding—and control—of reality.
Encrypted Purgatory was previewed at the latest edition of Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, where Christto & Andrew were selected as finalists for the New Discovery Award, a program dedicated to showcasing the work of the most talented and emerging international artists.
