Carlotta Roma: Torschlusspanik

Artist Carlotta Roma invited me to write the exhibition text for her solo show at Inspection Pit. Rather than describing her themes, my text expressed them in creative language.

The paintings in ‘Torschlusspanik’ are saturated by a sense of transformation, and they connect themes from toxicity to communication. I translated this into a vivid and slippery text that speaks directly to the reader. You can read it in full here.  

“If this show is a terrain, it warns us of zones where radiant waste hums under the soil like memory and symbols outlast their legibility…”
