The wearable postconsumer plastic sculpture hunter-gatherer, from the eternal life suit series, wanders the city streets pocketing fragments of waste. Playing librarian or museum curator of the everyday, the artist engages with the desire to order or clean away knowledge misunderstood as useless. In deep ecology, there is no ‘away’, and all things have intrinsic worth. The performance results in a shared experimental meal.

Exhibition duration and opening hours:
24 – 29. 05. 2016 | Di. + Do. – So. 14 – 18 Uhr

German by birth (1980), South African by upbringing, Kai Lossgott currently lives and works in Johannesburg and the world.
