DOG BITES DOG
We live in a world constructed by the internet, where people subconsciously place themselves in certain situations on the internet, representing viewpoints that do not stem from their own experiences to fight and argue, falling into factional opposition and disputes. Therefore, I have turned the representative issue of gender opposition into an installation art piece and an interactive website, using the Chinese idiom "Dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur" in a satirical and comedic manner to present this absurd social situation.
I referenced the works of Neil Mendoza and Aida Makoto, focusing on how they use a more absurd atmosphere in their paintings and installations to enhance the visual representation of "sexuality," emphasizing the many meaningless disputes arising from gender stereotypes that become tools for hidden capital profit.
Angelo Plessas lives and works between Athens and Kymi, Greece. His work highlights the ambiguous approach of spirituality with technology delving into a broad set of cosmologies, activating modes of communal inteconnectivity, social relations and identity. Plessas’ activities range from performances to artist residencies; from self-publishing to interactive websites; from quilted sculptures to live-stream events and educational projects. Over the last years, he has organized the annual, weeklong gatherings of the Eternal Internet Brotherhood/Sisterhood and Experimental Education Protocol in different remote places in the world. His work has been exhibited internationally such as the 13th Gwangju Biennale, S. Korea, documenta 14, both in Kassel and Athens; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Jeu de Paume, Paris; the DESTE Foundation, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens.
