SPLASHHH is an exhibition that claims the space and transforms it into a transient territory, offered on a silver platter to summer. It evokes the rituals, freedoms and absurdities of summer - as a place of universal desire, of natural-directed spectacle, of temporary utopia. Essentially, SPLASHHH is a recreational interrogation of what warm and perishable time represents, beyond seasonality - the performativity of beach objects, the politics of exposed and viewed bodies, the anxiety of counting days and everything that fades away, in the end, the strangeness of the summer personality, which takes shape, then self-destructs, and the playlists that repeat in a loop, until unbearable. The beach, place and symbol: an area of pleasures, escapes, metamorphoses, but also of cultural fictions. The beach, the theater of leisure par excellence, suspended between natural and spectacular. Each object, each body, becomes a floating note in a language of inactivity.
