The artistic research undertaken by Eva Fàbregas (Barcelona, 1988) focuses on the body knowledge and the sensory experience that facilitates the policies of the design industry and its continuous and growing production of objects. The almost erotic relationship that exists in both directions -from us to objects and from objects to us – affects not only our bodies but also our desires. Can we talk about a design of emotions from the tactile condition of the material environment? What are the physical responses that the somatic produces in our bodies? What affections are contained in these objects that are designed for the human body? What morphological affinities do they possess amongst each other? Could these objects become emancipated from our desires?
This project is the last of the exhibitions of the series Mirror Becomes a Razor When It's Broken for which Eva Fàbregas continues with the research that has already generated her solo exhibition Those Things That Your Fingers Can Tell at the Kunstverein in Munich (2019).
In collaboration with Equiknoxx.
Eva Fàbregas (Barcelona, 1988) lives and works in London. Her practice explores the erotic of the consumer object and the mechanisms of the engineering of desire, through sculpture, video, installation and sound. Her interest in affections has led her to produce works that address the culture of well-being and relaxation, the psychodrama and the marketing industry, as well as therapeutic subcultures in social networks.
