Overview
A reflection of its local community, the installation at Fresh Gallery is loud and colourful. Using locally sourced materials, de Souza’s inflatable tent and soft drink “coffee table” is a response to her interactions with the people and town centre of Otara.
A fusion of the Pacific and Pop Art, Tropical Thunder raises questions about the commercialisation of traditional practices. In particular, the work looks at the significance of buying, cooking and sharing food in people’s everyday lives. De souza works in a variety of mediums, including inflatable architecture, to investigate spatial politics and social space.
Tropical Thunder shows as part of The 5th Auckland Triennial.
