In her work, Farah Sara Kurnik experiments with digital collages, with which she builds worlds of speculative reality and erases the boundaries between artificial and organic that affect the conception of humanity. At the Inventory Check exhibition, she will present a found inventory that varies from actual objects to digital illustrations.
The systematically arranged objects will be sorted according to the principle of a video game inventory, which contains useful gadgets that define the player’s efficiency, as well as seemingly useless trinkets that have sentimental value and define the owner’s attributes. The unexplained circumstances of finding the inventory and the cryptic nature of the objects themselves enable reflection on the many possible backstories of the owner of the collection and the different narratives related to the use of the objects.
