YOUR VOICE WHISPERED IN ME
DEEPER AND DEEPER, ENCORE
YOU TOLD ME, ENCORE
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU ALL WINTER
WE COULD HEAR YOUR VOICE IN YOUR HEAD AS YOU READING THESE WORDS
SO MANY WINTERS
YOUR VOICE WHISPERED IN ME
KEEP DIGGING, KEEP DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER....
DIG DEEPER, DIG DEEPER
YES CLOSER
YOUR FEET ARE GETTING WET
BUT YOU SAID
HAVE A CIGARETTE
WE NEEDED YOU TO TELL ME
WHY DONT YOU USE YOUR IPHONE

Kunsthalle Lissabon opens Laure Prouvost’s first solo exhibition in Portugal this Thursday 20 February. Entitled ‘Melting into one another ho hot chaud it heating up’, the show creates a surreal environment that occupies the underground space of the Kunsthalle. It builds upon a range of themes explored within Prouvost’s project Deep See Blue Surrounding You for the 2019 Venice Biennale French Pavilion – as well as a recent collaborative project at Toronto's Mercer Union – including miscommunication, the constant flow of water, and the ‘tentacular’, liquid nature of human experience.

‘Melting into one another ho hot chaud it heating up’ is on view until 16 May. Find further information here.
