only so much adrift to brace my self control
2025

artist’s slip dress (absent) / metallic watch cases sourced from collectors, watch makers & English households (1930-2010) / archival glassine paper / wire / wood display structure

dimensions, variable (object: 74 x 42 x 15 cm / display: 240 x 200 x 240)



Barthes would call this the punctum, that tiny wound where meaning is overexposed. The collectioneuse’s moment of tenderness, or perhaps of jealousy, towards her objects. Her self-induced sequestration-by-words. My sense of self, lost & preserved, you say, already ceased, and there’s no better illusion than the wristwatch.



A slip dress I wore nightly, impulsed to preserve it - its movement & permanence, its folds. First, I placed it in a bag, then froze it. Then let it sit on the table in my studio. Over the next two months, I gradually retraced the shape & volume. The process became systematic & intentional - a precision aimed at protecting the item precious & frail, that covered, revealed, made me feel seen, exposed, frail, fierce - through a multitude of gazes. Over 500 discarded metallic watch cases retrace that dynamic carelessness, the control & ecstasy.

CORPOREUS, THIRSTY BY LERA KELEMEN

Lera Kelemen’s installation practice reflects on notions of femininity, confinement, body structure, vulnerability and equilibrium. Analysing the limitations of bodies in space, she uses her own corporeality to model and enliven matter. Her works result in conceptually immersive settings where shapes, surfaces and armatures blend together to define new entities.

Corporeus, thirsty marks the artist’s first solo-show in London, showcasing works produced in her studio at Feelium between 2023–2024. The installation consists of clay sculptures, metal constructions and repurposed aged objects placed in a site-specific environment taking over the main gallery.

The production process involves applying body pressure to a soft material and letting it settle at its own pace. Air, temperature and temporality determine shape. On the brink of an existential crisis, the bodies feel the constraints of the environment and internalise it, tackling emotion & reason, impulse & control. There is no back story, just a state of frenzy.

Underlining an inherent feeling of losing balance, the sculptures border uncertainty and paralysis. Their lack of life hints at a broken morphological sequence - organic or otherwise. Delicately bound by straps and buckles, these bodies hang in a suspended state, longing for connection and warmth. The installation room becomes an uncanny capsule where materiality conjures meaning.

excerpt

in the gallery there are 2 candles
one marks the hours & the minutes,
the other one marks directions.

I stand inside both,
halfway West

from this point I can see every detail

the silk cuffs sticking out of coats,
or a particular colour scheme
that divides a human into earth and sky

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
