In Dreaming of Electric Dew, industrially produced monochrome paintings on aluminium are covered with dew and frost. This magical natural condition, choreographed using freezer compressors hidden at the back of the wall, to hold the surfaces below freezing point, becomes an artificial event. By rendering visible the physical form of humidity in the space of the art fair, these “dew-scapes” explore the transitory and infinitely transformative nature of our environments. The viewer encounters a phenomenon that is at once elemental and artificial: a staged meeting between two orders of reality.
