Another day of sink

“It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible....” Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray “Soup, soup, soup, soup, don’t even get me started! With fish roe and celery. It's another day of sink ejaculation'', writes Luki Essender in their text ''Big key, funny hat and the Cartier whore'', where the title of the exhibition at the OFF/FORMAT Gallery comes from. An erotic image emerges from the environment of a sink. An image of a hand rubbing atlas cedar onto another hand projected onto misty stainless steel walls. The sink funtions as a scene built upon our fears, desires and beliefs. Essender is deconstructing the architecture of different spaces and mixes rooms into a combination of a kitchen, a cosmetic retail counter, a bathroom or a communal laundry room. The artist creates a new imaginative configuration that relates to our bodies and to functions of care. The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Matúš Horváth and Juraj Vankulič, the victims of the terrorist attack in the queer bar Tepláreň.
