SWEAT

2023, performance, editions of sheets

When I asked the curator to lock me up in a black box for the duration of the opening to make a contemporary cave painting

Myrthe van der Mark's SWEAT distills the atmospheres of other times and spaces.  Membranes impregnated with molecules and meanings, like the shirt your father was wearing during his last hours in this realm of physical bodies. The pictures printed by the shop around the corner with the residues of your rhizomatic residency and summer holiday memories of our own travels and those of unknown others. The allegory of the cave painting, a speleologist in a black box inside a white cube in search of the origins of creation like Schrödinger's Cat.
