CURATED BY MARTIN RASMUSSEN
A.S. – Atomised Society
"Memories are passed through unknown dimensions and are no longer something of the past. Rather, they become redefined equivalents in the present. In this way, memories are restructured like dreams, or, in a more concrete way, like collages. Remembered pleasures can become pain, or painful occurrences can become pleasurable." (Dwoskin, Stephen, 1993, HAHA! La Solution Imaginaire published by The Smith, p.x introduction)
For their edition of Apartment, A.S. – Atomised Society, (Alexander Hidalgo and Monika Oechsler), present a new series of collages in various media.
A.S.' interventions are particularly performative and, be it in a park, publication or flat, highlight positions of humanity. This specific intervention for Apartment seems to reflect an interest in memory and its visual operations.
The collaboration's work puts forward how memory, more than in the past, plays the part of creating the present.
"The only conclusion he could draw was that without points of reference, a man melts away." ― (Michel Houellebecq, The Elementary Particles).
