Hand Catching Fireworks / Hang in There
Wellington 2015
Jon Sasaki
A disembodied hand clutches at fireworks propelled at it. Fireworks are intended to be jubilant but fleeting and any attempt to seize the moment is somewhat foolhardy.
An iconic inspirational poster from the 1970s has been restaged. Rotated to horizontal, the cat struggles tenaciously against somewhat ambiguous forces. This Sisyphean tableau calls into question the sustainability of enthusiasm in the face of exhaustion.
