Nostalgia May 3, 2021 (2021)

A “portrait” of our artist friend David Horvitz, consisting of a loop of sulfuric yellow cable tray containing all the photos David shot throughout a single day—May 3, 2021—59 files in total.

When we began working on our solo exhibition at Kunstverein Wiesbaden, we discovered that an exhibition by David would be running on the floor directly above ours. This coincidence inspired the piece. Standing in the room, you can imagine the two shows as being invisibly connected.

The images have been deleted from David’s phone and now exist only in this endless feedback loop between two microcomputers.
