Just what Hackney needs - another artist









‘NUT PILE’ (2011) 
is a static yet pop-up installation that explores the use of public space by non-human Hackney residents. Adopting a Deleuzian becoming-animal approach, this intriguing new piece by local resident 'H.S.' challenges crow hegemonies and interrogates possibilities of alterity. The pile of nuts is a static physical presence, yet when cached (buried) its (dis)appearance renders it a ghostly (non) presence, but one which is always-already present in the memory of the squirrel, until such time as the nut may be re-presented.   
'Nut pile' occupies approximately 6" x 8" and can be installed at your gallery space easily and quickly.
