Paul and Ella both work with intention in their respective practices, yet the impulse to post remains. post 2 post presents a short film produced in response to the wellness-podcasting industrial complex, hydration encouragement, and other closed-loop systems between health, culture and content. The actual/virtual divide between compulsive content sharing is realised through a suite of found object assemblage, drawing, photography and text. This display invites you to enter through the deconstructed gift shop of merch, slogans, motifs and moments from the film, rendering closer the commodity form and content of posting online.
‘post 2 post’ was directed and edited by Tom Rogers. Featuring Jae Hyun Sul as “GLASS” and Indira Edwards as “BRICK”.
