BAIK+KHNEYSSER is pleased to present Domestic Ritual, a group exhibition at The Little City Farm LA - 1148 South Victoria Ave LA CA 90019, Los Angeles, US, April 17-25, 2021.
“We can define rituals as symbolic techniques of making oneself at home in the world. They transform being-in-the-world into a being at home. They turn the world into a reliable place. They are to time what a home is to space: they render time habitable. They even make it accessible, like a house.” -Byung Chul Han, The Disappearance of Ritual: A Topology of the Present
Performing a ritual helps us reconnect with ourselves, our surroundings, and with one another. More importantly, rituals are a way of instilling meaning amidst the chaos of contemporary life. Against the backdrop of the countless challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on, Domestic Ritual invites the viewer to reflect on their personal relationship with rituals.
