CONTRACT (2025)

solo exhibition

​

Anita Kremm has been working with the theme of contracts since 2021. Since then, she has conducted a series of practical experiments, entering into

contracts on a wide variety of topics and in various formats: a contract signed in blood, in which participants commit to revealing the most violent act from

their past. A birthday contract, wherein all guests bring the birthday person a book they are then required to read throughout the course of the evening. A

debt contract, in which both parties agree to a mutual debt relationship, which can only be resolved by performing the specified act or surrendering an object as described in the contract. And so forth. All contracts are valid under current legislation and binding upon mutual agreement between the parties.

According to Anita, this artistic trajectory emerged as a response to the COVID-19 era: “I felt I needed a deeper understanding of people and how they

function. I felt that everything I knew was merely the surface.” Curator: Ene-Liis Semper

​

The exhibition „CONTRACT“ centres around a contract made between the artist and a volunteer, to whom she transferred her entire external identity for

a 24-hour period: her apartment, clothing, eating habits, daily routines, phone, computer, and all social and familial contacts.

A video documentation of the experiment invites viewers to reflect on questions such as: What constitutes the self? What defines me? Does the self require

external identity to be recognised? Or is the self formed through this external framework? What personal and general agreements define our sense of self?

Etc.
