Kaja ‘Cxzy’ Andersen
Becoming the Galápagos is an installation realized in 2013, joining the post-internet sphere of influence. The work was exposed for the first time to the Gallery NEBBELUX in Fredrikstad in Norway (from October 26th till November 3rd, 2013). It consists of several elements of beddings arranged on the ground, representing islands (Galápagos islands), and heterogeneous objects as disemboweled bags of chips, blue neon, house plants, bottles of empty Red bull … Several computers and tablets are present, connected to Tumblr of the artist and spread the video of a photo of profile Facebook which burns. On one of the walls of the space of exhibition is thrown a livened up one animated .gif representing the icon of the notifications Facebook. Kaja ‘Cxzy’ Andersen also printed the homepage of its profile Facebook on a braid of bed. This original object is a part of the installation.
no man is an island
every ship is a ‘She’
I like your climate
and your wildlife
and your clientele
I saw your scenic sites
last night
by street view
on google maps
I’m just a weirdo with a heart
even in this global village
nights sure gets cold
sometimes.
