Club S + S Statement

Suicide Notes are a poetic collaboration between artists Stephen Paul Day and Sibylle Peretti. Each artist works independently, hinting at experiences of tenderness, sadness, separation and connection but staying in the background enough to leave an aura of mystery. The works are sometimes touching, sometimes haunting as they inspire in the viewer multiple personal associations of their own poignant experiences, the napkins themselves suggesting the impermanence of all things living. Suicide Notes were first shown in an unframed installation at Galerie Hirschmann in Berlin.
