Locked, Lights On is about exploring the darkness within us, through the diverse perspectives that make our individual experiences unique. In 2020 when the Covid 19 pandemic started various artists collaborated and presented their dark mixed-media art in what looks like an ill-kept bedroom.
The bedroom, where an infinite number of things can happen or not happen, and an infinite number of thoughts can exist or not exist, physical and mental states constantly fluctuate for any given individual. Often feelings are masked by others, depression brings shame, sexual frustration brings anger brings guilt. all of these feelings, no matter which came before the other, or for what reason they arrived, are valid and are not as dark if opened to discussion.
The exhibition took place as part of immersive exhibition Overmorrow at Wilden Renate, Berlin
