The installation-based works by Aleen Solari mostly integrate people that do something, for example feeding a kitten, drinking beer or eating potato crisps, or let alone. Activities or inactivities that remind you on attitudes of Slackers, the Beat Generation or Punk and the corresponding clichées. Certainly in this context the question if those cool and apparently bored actors are able to be identified with our conventional everyday life and charged with our own stories here and there comes up. It is nebulous and up to ourselves if the performers contemplate, wait or watch us but as components of installations they definetely encourage us to reflect and irritate us more than a sculpture or a painting are able to precisely because they are humans, the alleged creation´s crowning glory.
