Skull chair is a work of Garbage Kids collective that playfully dares to look into the eyes of existence. Gentle reminder of the nature of life - a simplification of big abstracts surrounding us.

In this case death is simplified to be the bare caricature of itself. The unknowable abstraction of dread is tamed and put into a usable object, as nothing is happening, as all is perfect, deceiving us that we understand death.

We live in a time where it seems like history has been discovered and all civilizations have been found and researched till the last pebbles, it seems like there are no more big discoveries coming. No unknown world to explore and wander. No West Indies, old forgotten civilizations in the sands of time.  We crave the memory from childhood of imagining a forgotten culture, somewhere in the  middle of the world, with all of their creations, that attempt to make sense of their humanity and its nature, transcribing feelings of abstractions into symbolic creations.

The skull chair, like all other works of Garbage Kids, shows no trace of time in which it might have been created, very easily being part of a fictional collection of “unknown artists”. It plays with the extension of preexisting history set outside of time.
