Gold and Glitter

2015
Installation, website, found GIF and objects, 30 x 30 x 130 cm

Between installation and website, Gold and Glitter presents a meticulous assembly of hundreds of small decorative golden items found here and there. From this accumulation emerges a golden iPad - tinsel object just like the others - that displays a web page (www.goldandglitter.net) consisting of a composition of several hundred golden animated GIFs, also found, but on the internet. These short looping animations have the same ornamental function as their physical counterparts, and are accurately arranged in a pictorial way. Their anecdotal and decorative dimension is enhanced by the whole that they form, racking up nods to art history and web culture. Each GIF having its own temporality, the composition takes on a living aspect from which emerges an unusual depth for our flat screens.
