"It's as if they were gambling their lives on a single card in the expectation of one great moment of happiness, when finally they will achieve spiritual and physical gratification." /Wilhelm Stekel
Deep Signal presented the work of ten contemporary artists in an exhibition which intended to describe social behavior at its most extreme; when it is 'compulsive'. Traces or evidence of compulsive actions were the physical matter of this show. The work adopted a documentary approach; demonstrating rather than describing actions. Five of these artists are based in London, present a determination to exceed social conventions. The show included text, drawing photographic, sculptural and video works.
"I rather like Ori Gersht's photographic portraits of a young man and a girl, taken in various moods and clothes. It is fascinating to see how different a person can look with the smallest of changes".
