Here are a few pics from net artist Molly Soda's debut exhibition at the Annka Kultys gallery in Bethnal Green that I recently visited on my last trip back down to London.
Climbing the stairs into the space, you could hear audio of the artist crying and it was almost as though she was trapped inside this pink bubble. Walking round the room was a lot like being in a dystopian fiction where the protagonist has had multiple experiences trapped inside a container and you're going through their memory library trying to understand their life.
One video saw Molly trawling through a pile of roses, continuing the "he loves me, he loves me not" rhyme with phrases that presumably relate to a past relationship of hers. Another - the one with the sobbing - played from a seemingly broken monitor screen. There were also various lip sync videos scattered around on iPhones and iPads.
The gallery owner mentioned to me that each piece was priced according to the amount of views the particular moving image had amounted online and that they came on their own memory stick hand decorated with plastic gemstones by the artist herself. Unfortunately it's no longer open to the public, however you can watch all the videos featured here on Molly's YouTube channel.
I need more plants and beanbags in my house.
