Tristan, Kewin, Joss (2015) is a piece by ZUZANNA CZEBATUL in the group exhibition called A Perfect Lie, now filling the space of the Belgian gallery Jeanroch Dard.

CZEBATUL‘s floor work consists of three common sweatpants of different colors which seem to have been frozen in action. In Tristan, Kewin, Joss (2015) the mannequins are truncated, interrupted, and broken down into a collective unity, composed of hollow bodies, lifeless like a scarecrow.

Impressive in its emphatic physical presence and precision, Tristan, Kewin, Joss (2015) carries symbolic overtones that are at once sombre and euphoric: the work here seems to embody what happens to the artistic creation under the influence of the art market’s oligarchs: a mercantile, speculative and spectacular, as well as exploited product.
