CURATORIAL STATEMENT

• Figurine is a collection of short clips made of GIFs, emojis, drawing applications, and other creative tools available to Instagram users while composing an Instagram Story. The works are a kind of remindings of the social-network-flavoured versions of Fortunato Depero’s artworks or Keith Haring's figures. Each ‘Figurine’ is a kawaii aggregation and representation of the emoji-packed, simplified feelings expressed and conveyed on social media today.
