Please join us at REVERB Gallery for 101 Bacterial Infections by KJ Skidmore.

101 Bacterial Infections is a bionic, Dalmatian-loving body with rotting viscera encased in ever-fabulous Mylar. This installation embodies the heaviness of chronic nerve pain through a suspended biomorphic form, an internal bodyscape weighted with existential dread.

Stop-motion projections of twitching, torn fabrics play at different speeds, reflecting time’s distortion under pain. Shiny Mylar contrasts the decayed textures, embodying synthetic impenetrability. The 101 Dalmatians, round and immortal, exist in contrast—forever youthful, their patterned fur a counterpoint to the abject materials.
