RESORT

Resort is an exhibition and performance by Filip Vest. The exhibition takes the form of a surreal holiday paradise where disaster lurks just beneath the luxurious surface. The performance revolves around a couple who have gone on holiday to a resort to fix their relationship. They begin a role play, pretending to be two strangers meeting in a hotel bar. But as they try out different scenari- os, they slowly lose control of the game and their sense of self. At the resort everything appears porous. Nature and culture, identities, and relations, past, present, and future coalesce. Resort enters a conversation with the current climate and biodiversity crisis through the lens of a crumbling rela- tionship. Movements small and large affect each other: plate tectonics and relationship dynamics, a breakup and/or the end of the world.
