Storyline & Synopsis

Smith’s Covid Manifesto takes the form of photographs of the artist’s desk and its various ephemera, at its centre a handwritten statement, for example: “Covid Manifesto #5 – The internet is a tool not a habitat. I don’t live there” and “Exploitation is the only thing that trickles down”. Smith will be rewriting and revealing each point of the manifesto throughout November, with items in the still lifes including remnants of daily rituals and key references to her practice accumulating and disappearing. The manifesto will be displayed in a sequence over the month of November, with seven “intermissions” showing Smith’s existing works. The piece is directed by Elvira Dyangani Ose with London gallery The Showroom.
