Format & Technical

Video loop on custom 3D printed canvas and electronics

Media artist Quintus Glerum has tried to get a better understanding of himself by mirroring his image to that of machines. While our tools are created for a specific purpose, we do not have the same luxury. Why do I act the way I do? What does it mean to be human and why am I bothering myself with these questions? Getting strangled in endless streams of recurring questions formed around human behavior caused him to create hypothetical situations that both break down and reflect on his own sense of reality.
For Loop 2024 Glerum presents a work composed of a set of video sculptures that reflects on the urge of escapism by portraying life through a collection of simulations. Inspired by the work of Milan Kundera, Quintus attempts to grasp the existential dread of the mundane by making video compositions that bridge dull sceneries with childish fantasy.
