MOVE YOUR SECONDS AWAY shows a series of dancing giraffes with human bodies. Their movements are exaggerated, almost desperate, as if they are պայքing to be seen. The hollowed-out eyes, placed as a layer beneath the surface, follow the viewer from every angle and make the act of looking reciprocal and uncomfortable. Beneath each work it reads: MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. The series originates from observing how adults present themselves on social media, in a constant urge to remain visible. As Andy Warhol said: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, but the works suggest that this visibility disappears just as quickly.

MOVE YOUR SECONDS AWAY zeigt eine Reihe tanzender Giraffen mit menschlichen Körpern. Ihre Bewegungen sind übertrieben, fast verzweifelt, als würden sie darum kämpfen, gesehen zu werden. Die ausgehöhlten Augen, als Schicht unter der Oberfläche platziert, folgen dem Betrachter aus jedem Winkel und machen das Sehen gegenseitig und unangenehm. Unter jedem Werk steht: MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. Die Serie entstand aus der Beobachtung, wie Erwachsene sich in sozialen Medien darstellen, in einem ständigen Drang, sichtbar zu bleiben. Wie Andy Warhol sagte: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, doch die Werke legen nahe, dass diese Sichtbarkeit ebenso schnell wieder verschwindet.

MOVE YOUR SECONDS AWAY toont een reeks dansende giraffen met menselijke lichamen. Hun bewegingen zijn overdreven, bijna wanhopig, alsof ze strijden om gezien te worden. De uitgeboorde ogen, geplaatst als een laag onder het oppervlak, volgen de kijker vanuit elke hoek en maken het kijken wederkerig en ongemakkelijk. Onder elk werk staat: MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. De serie komt voort uit het kijken naar hoe volwassenen zichzelf tonen op sociale media, in een voortdurende drang om zichtbaar te blijven. Zoals Andy Warhol zei: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, maar de werken suggereren dat die zichtbaarheid net zo snel weer verdwijnt.

MOVE YOUR SECONDS AWAY montre une série de girafes dansantes avec des corps humains. Leurs mouvements sont exagérés, presque désespérés, comme si elles luttaient pour être vues. Les yeux évidés, placés comme une couche sous la surface, suivent le spectateur sous tous les angles et rendent le regard réciproque et inconfortable. Sous chaque œuvre figure : MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. La série découle de l’observation de la manière dont les adultes se présentent sur les réseaux sociaux, dans un besoin constant de rester visibles. Comme l’a dit Andy Warhol : “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, mais les œuvres suggèrent que cette visibilité disparaît tout aussi rapidement.

Debajo de cada obra se lee: MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. La serie surge de observar cómo los adultos se presentan en las redes sociales, en un impulso constante por mantenerse visibles. Como dijo Andy Warhol: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, pero las obras sugieren que esa visibilidad desaparece con la misma rapidez.

MOVE YOUR SECONDS AWAY mostra una serie di giraffe danzanti con corpi umani. I loro movimenti sono esagerati, quasi disperati, come se stessero lottando per essere viste. Gli occhi svuotati, posizionati come uno strato sotto la superficie, seguono lo spettatore da ogni angolazione e rendono lo sguardo reciproco e inquietante. Sotto ogni opera si legge: MOVE YOUR SECONDS OF FAME AWAY. La serie nasce dall’osservazione di come gli adulti si mostrano sui social media, in una continua spinta a rimanere visibili. Come disse Andy Warhol: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, ma le opere suggeriscono che questa visibilità svanisce altrettanto rapidamente.
