Trisha Baga's Chaotic Mix of High and Low Culture at HangarBicocca

Trisha Baga's solo exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan presents a chaotic blend of high culture, popular culture, and technology. The show, housed in the Shed space, is constructed as a sprawling installation that combines ceramics, video projections, and found objects. Baga's ceramics include fossilized everyday objects and figures like RuPaul and Elvis Presley with built-in Alexa devices. The video works feature low-quality, overlapping images that mimic amateur documentaries, interrupted by parasitic stimuli from mainstream aesthetics. The exhibition critiques the influence of technology and the internet, suggesting that every image is random, virtual, and ghostlike. The installation's ambiguity between real and virtual, concrete and holographic, leaves viewers questioning whether its lack of coherence is a flaw or a deliberate reflection of a depersonalized era overloaded with stimuli.
