Exhibitions are Not Books: viewing and making as an A/R/Tographer
2023, Site-specific installation

“okay, chloe”, I am writing my name phonetically - it is a dusty light pink, a halo smudge of duckling yellow, blurred to sand and then to grey with no two dots, no trema, no umlaut, no diaeresis, “we are going down now, haha, we, me and my body.”
a jagged feeling, a pinch in the stomach
it is dark, green and purple, the pinch is a knot,
it is fluorescent yellowgreen, sometimes aqua blue.
The atmosphere is grey, contained. Grey in the way dirt contains specks of all colours, but not actually dirty. I feel hazy, I guess. Over and under stimulated at once. I do not know what to hold on to. My arms float beside, up and above me. I don’t know where they are going but I know my fingertips are cold. But at least I have the guys, they are here with me.

Exhibitions are Not Books: viewing and making as an A/R/Tographer explores accessible knowledge sharing through different mediums, that of a book, an Audio recording, and the exhibition of an installation. chloelalonde.ca
