‘THE FUTURE IS NOW’, PHILIPPE SHANGTI

This provocative proposal in the form of a fragmented installation seeks to criticise the effects of exacerbated consumerism and to rouse the collective consciousness. Despite the bright saturated colours and clean perfect finishes of Shangti’s works, they are envisaged as a protest and an incitement to thought.

Philippe Shangti boldly portrays superficiality, building stories that have been meticulously conceived. Comprising photography, sculpture and kitsch, audiovisual, Shangti’s project is set within the framework of the metalanguage of art and brings us closer to the contemporary aesthetic of pop art style..

In short, this is an invitation to reconsider the consumerist present that is leading us ever nearer to a future, a precarious future, that is already too close…
