Prick of a Daisy is an exhibition about rituals, objects, ornaments and anxieties that structure our everyday activities.
The pandemic-related quarantines have created a situation where interruptions in everyday practices make it impossible for people to define the flow of time and the emerging gaps in perceiving time cause anxiety. There is a lack of rituals that would help structuring and creating time, interpersonal relationships and perceiving daily changes. Similarly to rituals, ornaments contextualize time as well. Things embellished by ornaments are elevated to the present moment of time while revealing more complex reference systems.
The second part of the exhibition includes objects that direct our attention to the rituals in our daily lives. A simple box of candies has become an offertory where the viewer can stop for a moment and leave an offering to the nests of the box.
