PRICE (Mathias Ringgenberg), Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations), 2017
PRICE is a hybrid fictional character born from the sea of information, who explores the emotional disorientation of a generation having grown up with mass culture, neoliberalism and the omnipresence of the internet. By probing the mechanisms of pop, PRICE’s musical stories evoke instability, fear, and romantic disillusion. Where Do You Wanna Go Today reinvents itself from clubs to art galleries, using these diverse contexts to affirm the frustration and solitude of a generation he considers to be down-and-out. At a time when storytelling has taken over the collective psyche, the artist’s sincere and ambiguous presence has testimonial value.
