"hey, where you at????
I’m here at the party,
...pretty sure I am. It looks like it might be over. This place is in ruins.”
This is a show about the party you missed. WYA (where you at) is about the fear of missing out
(FOMO) caused by the extreme and constant onslaught of social media updates with highlights
of what you missed and the whereabouts of the next party to come. WYA is about shifting
through those mental states of location. WYA is not about the present. The present is lost the
second it’s posted. Social media is the modern party. When we go to parties, we’re essentially
attending to alter our realities to some degree. Much like what we may seek when we stare
into our phones. Some of the sights in this show may resemble the aftermath of that party you
heard was so lit.
...the sun comes up and all that’s left over are crushed cans and ‘solo’ cups, flickering lights,
decor ruins, and that one sad little dancing party light that didn’t get the memo that it’s over.
