Seeds of Anxiety

Andrei Pokrovskii (Russia, 1996) - Dropped Knife, Dropped Spoon (diptych) (2024)

The Nursery Entity attempts to mimic its surroundings, but it's hard to blend in when you glow like a cathode ray tube. It emitts a crackling hum similar to that of an electrical pylon, or sizzling bacon. It also emitts an electric current at a frequency of 60 hertz, leading some to believe it is North American in origin.
