“Cleansing and rinsing ourselves from the unwanted dirt. Just like bringing our cars to a carwash, we routinely bring our bodies to a place for cleaning, in which we collectively park them on a daily basis, in order to detach ourselves from the dust that lingers. That what smells and is normally present on the surface, is now being masked by the soapy antigenic surfactants that remove its ability to grow further. Yet most of its material is still there, just like the veins running underneath our skin will sometimes surface. Instead of cleansing I would call it neutralizing. Neutralizing implies, in the CIA’s professional terminology, the elimination of a leader, but could also refer to removing a possible threat.”
Come discover Benjamin Francis’ site specific installation in the P/////AKTPOOL! ’The removal of the eye’ is now on view in our tower-annex space until 13 June 2021. You can book a private viewing of the show from Thursday until Sunday, 14-18 hrs (and yes, also today!), here: https://calendly.com/paktamsterdam/private-appointment-at-p-akt?month=2021-05

16mm scanned to digital file, 4:3, stereo sound, 4’35’’
Our ninth ‘postcard from the edge’ is by visual artist and filmmaker Ingel Vaikla. During 'Goodbye air pollution, the future is here' - our previous exhibition by Anu Vahtra at the space - we invited Ingel to reflect upon Vahtra’s project. The reflection resulted in the film ‘Conversations with A.’ of which we are happy to present an excerpt here. The full film is available on our website here: https://www.pakt.nu/2021/postcards-from-the-edge-9-ingel-vaikla/
The reflection is part of the exhibition program 'The Space Conductors Are Among Us' and it is conceived in collaboration with artist/writer Brenda Tempelaar.
