Positive Disintegration by Tania Franco Klein

Released Jun 22, 2022

Nifty Gateway is pleased to present Day 2 of our NFT photography spotlight, consisting of a group of photographers with unique approaches to portraiture. We are thrilled to showcase the work of the talented artists Tania Franco Klein, Paige Powell, and Ismail Zaidy!

This work is influenced by the pursuit of the American Dream lifestyle in the Western world and contemporary practices such as leisure, consumption, media overstimulation, eternal youth, and the psychological sequels they generate in our everyday private life. The project seeks to evoke a mood of isolation, desperation, vanishing, and anxiety, through fragmented images, that exist both in a fictional way and a real one.

Philosopher Byung-Chul Han says we live in an era of exhaustion and fatigue, caused by an incessant compulsion to perform. We have left behind the immunological era, and now experience the neuronal era characterized by neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, burnout syndrome, and bipolar disorder. Drawing inspiration from his theories, Tania Franco Klein places this contradiction at the centre of her autobiographical project.

The constant need to escape, to always look outside. Her characters find themselves almost anonymous, melting in places, vanishing into them, constantly looking for any possibility of escape. They find themselves alone, desperate and exhausted. Constantly in an odd line between trying and feeling defeated.

The Open Editions will start on June 22 at 6:30pm EST and will remain open for 24 hours. Only one purchase per user is allowed.
