Simone Post’s work opens a magical realm of reality that makes room for naïve, childlike joy. In this series of work, different historic interior furnishings such as chandeliers, decorative mirrors and old photos are reproduced in supermarket candy making them simultaneously abstract and strangely familiar. Combining elements of domestic comfort, historic interiors, and countless colourful sweets, the installation becomes a kind of mirage. Is this a memory of something that never was? A dream of the impossible? Or perhaps a hallucinatory break with reality?

Using candy, Post gives the objects a carefree quality inherent in the naïve, innocent joy of childhood. However, this material, which melts so easily, highlights the fragile, fleeting nature of this state. Can we be so carefree in the world around us?
