When they want to say that a person left something that he had been doing for a long time, then they use the expression "hung on a nail." But the artist Paul Smith has created an installation, in fact, is a monument to a lost childhood. Everything that was dear to us in childhood is hung in it.
Often, as an adult, it is very difficult to remember what kind of child you were. It is difficult to remember what interested you at that time, what you lived then, what seemed important to you. But artist Paul Smith's new exhibition, Sent Things, is meant to remind us of all this.
Indeed, this exhibition contains many things that seemed very, very important to us in childhood. All of them are hung on the wall as a reminder of the phraseological unit “hang on a nail”. That is, we have already parted with all this, but we all remember how dear it was to us.
Paul Sith's installation brings together a wide variety of things from our childhood. This is a scoop for playing in the sandbox, and a skateboard, and a scooter, and a grasshopper - one of those that we loved to catch in childhood. They stand on special stands, and do not hang on the wall, sledges and artificial arms of the Hulk. In childhood, they were even more important and expensive than hanging artifacts.
Of course, now it is difficult to imagine how all this could be considered very important and necessary? Indeed, in adulthood, there are completely different values - cars, apartments, designer clothes, modern gadgets, diamonds and gold. But this is what Paul Sith's exhibition is for, to remind us of these feelings from childhood.
