Satisfied is an exhibition of artworks focused on the evolving trajectory of personal satisfaction. The project is the result of a collaboration between Spencer Fenton, photographer Matthieu Lavanchy and industrial designer Alexandra Gerber.
In an increasingly connected and globalised world, where brands devise sophisticated visual strategies to sell us the things we want, we are bombarded by images that have been perfected and proliferated to the point of abstraction.
Each artwork in the exhibition is a carefully constructed contemplation on the contemporary disconnect of everyday experience and the parallel reality of magazine covers, selfies, billboards, and lives edited in pictures on social networks. The focal point of the installation is multiple oversized, custom aluminium light boxes that are normally used in retail environments to present advertising and marketing imagery.
