Elsewhere’s Roof Top Survival Kit | Jazz Leeb
Description: Jazz Leeb’s Elsewhere Roof Top Survival Kit is a portable home for solitary survival on the outskirts of Elsewhere. It speaks to the allure of refining the load of things one carries through life down to core components and the freedom of mobility and solitude associated with romantic notions of the nomadic condition. For the kit’s first foray into the outside world, Leeb set up camp on Elsewhere’s roof for a night, photographing his pack to emphasize its snail shell like qualities. The crisp white surface of the roof, which forms the background of the photographs, link the setting both to a cultural fantasy of escaping to unmarked territories and to the blankness of traditional gallery spaces where sculptural objects appear to stand in sharp relief against the negative space of their surroundings.
