In a world of constant movement and change, what remains of the life of an object? As we pick it up, leave it, move it, transfer it, into new realms and other worlds. Art objects also become part of this cyclic motion of our contemporary life. As nothing and no one seems to root in a single place. Stillness implies the end.

The collection at Lifejacket Under Seat questions and reflects this thought. It presents a series of works collected through our personal exchanges. Each object travelling with us or parallel to us to form in a single place and depart again from there. The mapped movement of these objects cannot be fully controlled or predicted.

Lifejacket Under Seat is not a reminder of an emergency situation; rather it is a reminder of a text, not a subject, which seems to be of frequent repetition as we move.

It is also the inherent part of the practice of each individual artist that has allowed this connection and exchange to occur. And what remains of these encounters, are objects; objects on the move.
