“Push me Pretty”, draws from technological -and other worldly- anxieties as well as historical class tensions. Mixing the emojis of a disruptive digital world, with an all-seeing eye that casts its gaze over a 20th century replica of Versailles’s TriPushanon, the video underscores the current state of robotic advancement encroaching on the ‘unseen’. As a shadowy dancer comes to dominate the view, he is swept aside to make room for ‘the future’.
