Speakeasy

This work continues my longstanding interest in museological themes through the creation of artificial artefacts. These objects appear detached from any coherent historical narrative, evoking histories that never truly existed. They possess an uncanny quality, as though they are relics without an origin.

The construction of Speakeasy extends this deception through its materiality. Plastics are painted to resemble metal, and a weathered wood cutout functions as an abstraction of a door. The result is a deliberate ambiguity: artefacts that seem authentic at first glance, yet reveal themselves as fabrications upon closer inspection.
