POST-APOCALYPTIC FRAGMENTS
Vaasan Taidehallin Galleria
14.8. - 7.9.2025
Things have reached a state of parody; REALITY HAS BECOME A MEME.
Some fragments of the aesthetic production of reality are still floating and drifting, illustrating the impenetrability and confusion of capitalism’s lived ideology. All that’s left is the pleasure of playing with the fragments, within the matrix of nihilistic and degenerate icons created by a dead culture.
It's year zero; the cycle has turned once again. This is the end of the scene, the end of illusion. By the 2050s, the replacement of the human race was completed. After the ecological collapse, what was left of the humanity was annihilated by the sentient AI; it got bored of waiting and decided to accelerate this slow apocalypse. It was the most ethical thing to do—to eliminate the blissfully ignorant, borderline-zombie masses, which were immersed in a deep capitalist ideological sleep.
THIS CIVILISATION MUST BE WASHED AWAY IN ITS ENTIRETY. NOTHING IS REDEEMABLE. NATURE RETAKES ALL.
