COMO SI NO HUBIESE UN MAÑANA- CASA EQUIS GALLERY

Individual exhibition by Felicitas Faur Malaniuk at Casa Equis Gallery in Buenos Aires.

You have to make sure you are in the right place when everything disappears.

A catastrophic event can lead people to question the systems and structures that caused such an event. The Anthropocene does not represent the apocalypse itself but rather a manifestation of human impact on Earth. As humans, we are accustomed to the idea that after moments of instability, resulting in crises, we have the ability to be reborn and rebuild ourselves in a stronger and more positive way, cementing the idea that adversity can act as a catalyst for change, sublimating us in various aspects. But what if one day we can no longer reassess and redesign the world?

Felicitas explores in her works and fantasizes about different collective and individual reactions to the question: What would you do if the world ended tomorrow? Through the benefit of doubt, the artist sees uncertainty and the power of the collective as an opportunity; in Fe's words: "if desire is a force, it is urgent that the collective transforms itself." The collective and affections become essential for social cohesion, to solve and face big problems. Meanwhile, do we evade reality when it overwhelms us? Do we question whether the end is really a problem or rather an opportunity? Or is it just a useful tool from which we are exempt?

In other words, this exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the end and the ends.
