Press release written by Roberto Chabet's for his exhibition 'The Psychopathology of Everyday Life'. The exhibition features a same-titled two-part installation which was exhibited simultaneously at Finale and West Galleries, SM Megamall from 13 - 25 March 1997.
Chabet wrote, 'The two space-specific installations using familiar, almost nondescript objects such as balls, index boxes, tables, clipboards, and army-surplus camouflage, explore the slippages of meanings unleashed when quirks of the unconscious mind (the artist's as well as the viewers') set in unpredictable collision courses the objects and images that inhabit our everyday life.
'Forgetting, Slips of the Tongue, Bungled Actions, Superstitions, and Errors', the subtitle of Sigmund Freud's book from the exhibition derives its title, serves as a virtual agenda for the works in which visual 'Freudian slips' pry the uncanny from the humdrum surfaces of everyday life.'
