— are the stories of objects and materials, their interaction, indifference and physical contact, narrated by the artist Sasha Sime. This is a series of observations of the carefree rustling of plastic, the transparent weight of glass or the snobbery of stone, the caviar aftertaste of rubber or the synthetic aroma of adhesive tape, fixed in structures, text and video.
All stories are collected in the universal OX Poblenou space, like experiment elements placed in one container. The catalyst of the reaction and the most important element in this experiment and stories is the viewer.
PAPER /
Paper crumples Wet paper crumples softly and easily Dried, it resists and gets tough Tough and no crumples anymore
#paper #paper #resistance #material
PLASTIC /
Plastic rustles. He is young, light and carefree. Plastic has no pedigree, history or roots. Plastic is transparent, but he can hardly be called clean. They do not value plastic, and he does not show much respect in return. Plastic is genuinely ill-mannered. And indifferent.
Rubber smells like black caviar It inflates / deflates / experiences physical pain. Stretches / shrinks Leaving traces of talcum powder Smelling like black caviar

A ROCK /
The rock broke off From which side you'll never know He is difficult to befriend, he is a snob / too serious. But with him you can start a revolution. Today Tomorrow

CERAMIC /
Ceramic sells in stores It can also be bought online, but there is a chance it could break on it's way and turn to trash. If you order white ceramic online, delivered, you could receive white trash
#whitetrash
ADHESIVE TAPE /
Adhesive tape is like an old friend — It is always trusty, even when unreachable I like the aftertaste of glue / plastic on my teeth This aftertaste of hastily work
#adhesivetape #scotch # aftertaste #glue #bite
GLASS /
Glass is heavy Every time I lift it, I wonder at its weight It is transparent, but heavy Like very heavy air Like very heavy air
Aluminium, answer the call. Aluminium, answer the call. Answer the call, Aluminum. Take the tube, Aluminum. Read the message, aluminium. Check the mail, aluminium. Be in touch, aluminium.

STORY/
Story is a lot of words that have at least some meaning. At least some.
There are, of course, meaningless stories, but few are a fan of them.
Who ever wants to get another batch of nonsense?
You?
Me?
