"Under the Pineapple"

Karólína Rós Ólafsdóttir and Boaz Yosef Friedman

 

The artist and writer Karólína Rós Ólafsdóttir and

the artist Boaz Yosef Friedman present their installation 'Under the Pineapple', which explores myth and

post-consumer ecology.

 

The germ of the work originates in the existential and metaphysical world presented in SpongeBob SquarePants, where a sponge's only dream is to work as an underwater cook in a world cluttered with human junk and debris.

 

Through a three part narrative, the work presents a folklore from the future: a story

of the possible landscapes of extinction.

of Prof. Trisha Donnelly and Prof. John Morgan, was a guest in London's Slade School of Art
and a recipient of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. He has exhibited in group and solo

South East London.
