Rebecca Gallo

Rebecca Gallo is intensely curious about the stuff we surround ourselves with, and that which we’ll leave behind. Her process is psychogeographical: she walks through urban and industrial areas as a methodology for collecting objects, and observing and mapping different locales. The collected objects, brought together in sculptural mobiles and assemblages, reveal details of our strange and compelling interactions with the world of things. Gallo’s process is an examination of the materiality and use cycles of everyday objects, and as such is a kind of archaeology of the present. She collects fragments that appear to have reached obsolescence, and slips them back into circulation within a new, aesthetic value system. Her mobiles are a weighing-up of these objects, both literally and metaphorically: a proposition of equivalences between discarded and forgotten things.
