It ’s hard to know where to begin report artist Jan Manski ’s brutal new show forthcoming at London’sBREESE LITTLEgallery . Called “ Possesia ” and opening move to the public on February 26 , it ’s a surreal and over the top facial expression at “ primitive pawn ” turned into end - of - the - world machinery used by some nameless conquering force of the time to come .
Ultimately destine as a serial of hyperbolic references to World War II , Manski ’s detailed exhibition looks more like a museum of the world ’s close get together by slavery - ghost witchdoctors , Nazi - like shamanic engineers from the thirty-first century dedicated to fateful deception and planetary - scale misanthropy .
In the art gallery ’s own verbal description , the exhibition features “ despoiled vintage mannequins and creature bones gather with steel , ” statuary assembled from soil , leather , pelt , and antlers , and other bloodcurdling glimpse of a world where “ brute remains and synthetic target color with earth evoke an authoritarian machine - esthetical . ”
In Manski ’s nigrify time to come , abandoned farming equipment has been transformed into “ stylized instruments of torture ” applied literally to the fount and head of what seem to be humanity ’s last survivor .
Obviously , this is not for everyone !
But its unflinching look at the disconsolate textile of future colonial domination seems adequate parts speculative sci - fi and virtuously engaged admonitory tale , the worst days of 20th - 100 story retold through the elaborated props of Manski ’s machine - allegory , a myth of science and industry depart awry .
Manski , not one to look on the brilliant side , it seems , is presently preparing a new show , stick with up on “ Possesia ” and its predecessor , “ Onania , ” to be called “ Eugenica ” : “ Eugenica will try out man ’s capacityto eliminate himself and his neighbour throughextreme rendering of Darwinian selection . ” Happy Valentine ’s Day !
