Swing Shoe Shop Audio Guide
The white cube as an institutional commercial space is staged in Swing Shoe Shop with a fitting bench, shoe horns and nylon sockies. Gallery visitors are invited to try on the shoes (for sale for €99.90 in a custom silk-screened shoebox). The 50 0dd pairs of shoes are appropriated 1920’s to 1940’s dance shoes: some are unworn, others considerably threadbare, and each tells its own story. On a surreal museum audio guide, a voice actor narrates the back-stories in a period transatlantic accent. For a slideshow of the collection and the accompanying audio tour, check out the video.

Cilia Falsa
Cilia Falsa consists of entomological cases with systematically organized prosthetic eyelashes and taxonomical nomenclature. The work makes a visual analogy between batting wings and eyelids; where the signs of identity and sex are convoluted.
