Description

Can we leave the door unlocked ? , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 100 x130 cm


Relatedness and interaction between individuals may have lost their drive and liability.

As people tend to ring-fence their privacy, they become ever-more “incommunicado,” deliberately untouchable.

By retreating in the secrecy of the safe haven of their living, their habitats become impregnable castles, with the draw-bridges of non-attendance always up. Adopting an attitude of "ghosting," constantly shamming ‘absence,’ homes gradually become ghost houses and, extensively, communities grow into ghost towns.

In our contemporary “brave new world," traditional trust or generous receptiveness has been replaced by ‘security devices’ and ‘safety gadgets.’

The familiar scenario about leaving our home or going to bed without locking the door, from our collective memory, has now mostly become an illusional setting.


Phenomenon: Feeling of insecurity.

''Factual starting point: Door and two humans abstracted at each side
