Officer Officer - it wasn’t a dream - I was caught blood-handed - sewing a pink triangle to the bark of every tree - and fastening a mask to them - to me

-Em Konig

FELTexchange, as apart of FELTspace’s, SALA 2020 online exhibition, South Australian artists and writers were curatorially paired to respond to each others practice for the duration of the exhibition. Sharing themes of a consciousness landscape, a spectrum of realities and skew points of perception, poet and writer Em Konig, and Olivia Kathigitis created a ‘call and response’ exhibition - of responding to each others weekly offerings of creativity.

Reacting to Konig’s sound work and poem, Officer Officer (2020), Straw to Camel (2020) is a photographic print of a sculptural silent moment of anguish. Bearing its teeth, combusting; the piece is caught in the silent scream of sleep paralysis. The flames are romantically lapping up the form - slowly destroying it.
