Ghosts don't like New Things

I stopped thinking about what could have been, and feel the gentle touch of sun warmed plastics. My silicone skin is slowly stretching and releasing. My very essence is tuned to the average rhythm of existence. I’m doing the bare minimum. I am playing the Alive show. The installation “Ghosts don’t like New Things” brings together a series of sculptural works exploring the remains of past futures in the now. They hint at a bygone era of movie special effects and are objects that don’t stand for themselves but try to invoke carefully crafted illusions. They are props of a greater narrative that seems to have been lost somewhere along the way. Although the futures they were once intended to be included in didn’t fulfill themselves, they refuse to go away, like haunting specters. By using cliché horror movie tropes like puppets, abandoned houses and ghosts, they evoke a new storyline about past utopias, lost futures and feelings of disillusionment.
