We are excited to announce ‘Fortunate’, a forthcoming solo exhibition of newly commissioned works by Ruoru Mou, opening on Thursday, 9 October, 12–6 pm. For her most ambitious project to date, the artist reappropriates industrial forms, cinematic tropes, bureaucratic residue, and manufacturing waste to address the material politics of luxury fashion, migrant labour, the circulation and optics of value, and regulatory subjectivity. The exhibition features a fully enclosed chamber constructed from industrial and bureaucratic remnants sourced from Tuscan industries. Chromium leather dust, discarded shavings, debt collection receipts, invoices from annual returns, and ledgers are gathered around an expansive kinetic sculpture. Fortunate probes the material politics of fashion, global labour dynamics, ornamentalism, and regulatory subjectivity. Through this constellation, the artist interrogates unstable classifications of materials, identities, and economic structures, as well as the regulatory processes that simultaneously reinforce and obscure these distinctions.
