DEPTFORD MARKET BY VERONICA KAVASS
The role of “fillers” is to,
amongst other things, avoid disorientation and dominating disruption. Fillers
go unnoticed when they are in place and create havoc when they are missing. The
filler is in the same family as the glitch—but
they exist on opposite ends of the same field. Haroon Mirza’s work
plays on this field, creating a marriage between elements that are typically
regarded as incompatible and/or dangerous when combined: water and electricity,
proper vintage furniture and fairy lights, Pachabel’s Canon and glitchy
hypnotic beats. The fusion results in self-governing sound sculptures pumped
to life by watery circulatory systems and elevated by Baroque ghosts.
Veronica Kavass is a writer & curator based in New York
