Spares and Repairs

Spares and Repairs interrogates changing notions of value, material resources, manufacturing and the aesthetics of the screen through a sculptural installation and five-channel video.

The five channel video exhibits portraits of two protagonists either producing or watching TV at increasing levels of magnification. Illuminated by the screen, their constant gaze is intertwined with the repetitive gestures of anonymous workers in TV factories. Unceasingly, they produce and consume the screen. The remnants of obsolete LCD TVs are scattered across two utilitarian shelves to reveal the complex, resource-rich components inside these fragile products. The exposed and interconnected cables allude to bodily systems, highlighting the interconnectivity between people and technology.
