More about this work
Chloë Bass kept snapshots and diary entries of memorable events. In her artwork, she connects this personal memorabilia with the official announcement. As such, she reminds us that big historical events are intertwined with intimate human experiences.
She began the series in 2018 on Instagram and is now exhibiting them in diff erent ways. Here, they appear as three series of text panels in the open air. She also printed the snippets on T-shirts and other clothes, which performers wear while doing a choreography. As such, performers in Bass’ costumes become the interpreters of her personal memorabilia.
The Parts reflects on the stories we tell about our society. As a sculpture, via social media and in real life. The work is an invitation to stop for a moment at the crossroads between our petty existence and large turning points in society. In an effort to help us deal with the many great crises and relate to the dramatic developments around us.
