THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY
31 AUGUST 2022

“We have developed an exceptional immunity that you can learn from us!” Sign your name on the dotted line… This ‘impatiently made’ work by British artist Monster Chetwynd is about boosting morale at times of uncertainty. Cheer up! The artist’s imaginative attempt to recreate our recent modern times with anthropological attention was strongly influenced by Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini and his 1969 film Medea. A ‘new world’ is entering and the ‘world of yesterday’ is merely a nostalgic haze.
