Jennifer Hope Davy

Title: “The Apparatus”

Work Description: 

“I want to be like a virus that belongs to the institution. All the ideological apparatuses are, in other words, replicating themselves, because that’s the way culture works. So if I function as a virus, an imposter, an infiltrator, I will always replicate myself together with those institutions.” 

––Felix Gonzalez-Torres
