Security. For individuals and communities, as well as other lifeforms, objects and systems, this generally means the state or perception of being free from danger. Security is also a basic needof modern societies, inherent to both individual and collective actors, for whom perpetual emergencies create ever new challenges.
Safety Testing from Katerina Matsagkos is dedicated to objects that promise security and control. By presenting everyday objects in opposing materialities, the artist suspends and abstracts their utility for the enjoyment of the viewer.
