Risky Attachments: Apocalyptic Visions at Foothold, Polignano a Mare

The nomadic collective Like A Little Disaster presents 'Risky Attachments' at Foothold in Polignano a Mare, a group exhibition exploring apocalyptic futures through works that blend nature, technology, and the grotesque. Rustan Söderling's videos depict disturbing digital panoramas where virtual landscapes eerily mirror real-world apocalypse imagery. Lara Joy Evans neutralizes dangerous substances and worms in glycerin to create new chromatic combinations and fossil-like concretions. Lauren Gaul exhibits large plastic bags containing silicon and polymers that dissolve fruit and other edible materials. Andreas Ervik distributes vials containing the Elminto parasite for ingestion, proposing an eugenic guest within the body. Thomas Hämén stages splatter battles between heroes from the same production company and draws comics of hominids repurposing their genitals. Ittah Yoda uses 3D printing with novel materials to produce refined, unexpected textures. Jocelyn McGregor incorporates harmful hematite into intimate installations resembling ex-votos with plant remains and anatomical pieces. Plasticity (Grazia Mappa and Gabriele Leo) offers a domestic refuge where philosophical reflection on the future is dispensed in wisdom pills among mirrors and cushions.
