”Dimensional fruits“ is an experimental video work made in residency in Shanghai in June-July 2024.
The work is an abstract ode of filmic poetry dedicated to the ancient water town of Zhujiajiao, where the collective resided for a month. It was eventually exhibited in the duo's solo exhibition 边 EDGE /// 上 OVER /// 看 LOOKING at Acentric gallery in Shanghai in July 2024.
边 EDGE /// 上 OVER /// 看 LOOKING was an exhibition by Malta-based art collective PONKS. It celebrated the certainty of the uncertain, looking over and between edges of places and emotions between what was and what can come next.
Through posters, video, poetry, and installation, PONKS explored inevitable conditions of transition and contradiction: just as the 3 rivers of Zhujiajiao carve through and present life in reflections, morphing, in motion, and upside down. 边EDGE /// 上 OVER /// 看 LOOKING is a reversal of the phrase, “looking over the edge”, the act of peering over the limits of something, whether tangible, cultural or assumed to open up to the floating possibility of the ambiguous. It is a playful space to tune into the dual idea of the “dao”: when the upside-down (dao 倒), just as in reflectional surfaces, arrives (dao 到 ) as a right way up.
