HOME SCREEN by the Swiss-born, London-based artist brings together new photographic works alongside sculptural and time-based elements. The exhibition reflects Blum’s ongoing interest in performance, staging, and the afterlife of objects: repurposed, addressed, and activated in the exhibition space through a script authored by the artist. The exhibition is accompanied by a newly commissioned text by Monica Unser (*1999 Lausanne, CH).
