Imbued with a diaristic impulse that is cathartic in character, the processbased, sincere, and often amusing works in this exhibition explored the slippery terrain between truth and fiction, private and public, and intimacy and perversion. Structured according to their own distinct – sometimes absurdist – internal logic, the works could be seen as strategies for survival in our current environment where intimacy and human relations are dispersed across multiple networked platforms; a characteristic of our screen based culture. This reality brings about a need for the creation of new private rituals, secret semiotic systems, and personalised forms of communication.
