Looks like water....
Looks like water…
December 2018
For Retro Fantastic, a group show at the Dutch Design Hotel, Artemis in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 2019, I worked on the theme of the fantastic 50s and 60s.
Those were the days; the future was promising.
From nowadays reality, I look back to the rise of capitalism and consumerism with a nostalgic and critical eye.
In the series images of the good old days are set against a different reality. Tales of hope and glory when men conquered space, science was the future, bombs were power games and plastic was fantastic.
Used in this composition is a publicity from Union Carbide.
In 1956, Union Carbide releases a new chemical: acrylonitrile.
Their ad says: ” Looks like water but it’s really an amazing chemical bringing you wonderful new textile fibres, plastics and rubbers..”
