Life… Oh Life

Andy Nizinskyj, Reece Straw and Lucy Vann

“It’s all in the mind. Change your mind, change your life.” If you watch enough motivational videos on YouTube a phase like this will become a well known mantra to you. Imbued with ritualistic positivity, it is so easy to consume the alluring connotations these words convey.

Inspire. Motivate. Encourage.

Life… Oh Life aims to unpack how change breeds hysteria. It will analyse anxieties old and new, whilst emotionally examining feelings of melancholy, contrasted with joy.

In order to empathetically present ideas of struggle and triumph, the exhibition will have a visible public programme that will research how we cope. Asking us to consider ideas surrounding honesty and mindfulness and their positive attributes as well as flaws.
