Hydrobutter

An exhibition during the European Month of Photography -
FOTO WIEN
curated by Nika Kupyrova

A shipment of fresh red roses leaves their forgettable country of origin, which is slowly turning into a desert as a result of climate change. Heavily impregnated with chemicals to preserve their moisture, they are then gifted as a symbol of sensuality and sex. Their recipient, a natural beauty, sustained by a steady supply of bottled water, browses the shelves of cosmetics and tinctures all promising to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
It’s the dawn of the new currency. For the practical-minded it comes in boxes and bottles, rationed according to their status and wealth. The dreamers can channel their longing into virtual waterworlds, digital hybrids of memory and delusion.
Sea flavour, natural spring aroma, deep-lake blue.
You don’t even own a bath you loser.
