Broken phone signing session at panke.gallery on April 30th 2025. While on the way to the surfing session with Maya Man (Mayaontheinternet) I found a box of broken phones in the streets of Hamburg. On the train to Berlin I decided it was a good idea to sign them as giveaways after the show. It was fun! Thanks Maya, thx pankegallery!
‘Mark Fisher famously coined the term “the slow cancellation of the future” to describe this very feeling — that the once-thrilling idea of a better, radically different tomorrow has slowly faded into a recycled present. As Fisher put it, “the future has disappeared,” not in the sense that time itself has stopped, but that our ability to imagine a world distinct from the one we already know has been stunted. We’ve become stuck, not only culturally but politically and economically, trapped in a loop of repetition. The future, as we had once conceived it, has been cancelled.’ (quote jcgal)
