ANNIE ABRAHAMS ‘IF NOT YOU NOT ME’ AT HTTP IN LONDON.

Rachel Dainer-Best

Whether it’s finding out too late that your cell phone hasn’t been 
receiving calls or fretting over whether it’s okay to respond to a 
Facebook message with a text, we all know that technology makes 
communication both limitless and painfully complicated. Annie Abrahams 
is exploring these fragile relations via a series of networked 
performance pieces in her solo exhibition, If Not You Not Me at the HTTP 
gallery in London. The show highlights her idea that “communication 
guided by machines doesn’t go by the same rules, nor uses the same 
abilities as “normal” communication.”

The central piece of the exhibition is Shared Still Life, a live 
broadcast between two galleries, HTTP and Kawenga media arts space in 
Montpellier, France. A still life is set up in each of these galleries 
and is projected by live broadcast in the other. The interactive exhibit 
allows visitors to the gallery to rearrange the still life and send 
messages to visitors at the other location.
