Inspired by all-you-can-eat restaurants, it denounces our human gluttony and desire for more. In today's society, greed and unbridled consumerism guide our behaviour as individuals and as a species. Social media, advertising, trivial worries and boredom determine daily life. In this postmodern world-as-a-funfair, we hardly know who we are any more. In search of meaning, we seem to be collectively stuck in our role of individualistic, self-centred consumers. Our needs have been met, and yet a piercing sense of hollowness remains. All we can get refers to the meaninglessness of our existence and the painful lack of content, truthfulness and fundamental values. We wonder desperately: Is this it? Is this all we can get?--Excerpt from text by Koen Leemans. Exhibition: De Garage, Mechelen, Belgium (25 .09. - 21.11.2021). |
