London-based Studio Glithero presents new work at Gallery Fumi (until 24 June 2023), a ‘hands-on’ collaboration with the designers’ creative community
Simpson and van Gameren called upon one hundred friends, neighbours, family members and contributors, each invited to the studio to help create this collaborative body of work. The result is a series of black and white vases, each uniquely printed with a pair of hands.
‘One by one, visitors were invited to sidle their way through thick black-out curtains into an improvised dark room,’ reads a text from the designers. ‘There, holding a thrown pot carefully above their head, like a trophy, each was invited to take a slow turn through 360 degrees, beneath an intense beam of light. The surface of the pots had been treated with chemicals sensitive to light, and as the visitor turned, an image of their hands became part of the skin of the vessel.
The exhibition at Gallery Fumi not only offers a complete view of the project, it also celebrates the community that made it possible through a photo wall featuring a hundred portraits, and a darkroom created in the gallery’s lower floor, featuring an audio by artist Claudia Molitor, who created a composition from fragments of conversations, soundbites of the vases being handled, and music.
