A Million Times and More

2024

Excerpt from Wilson Saplana’s introduction to the exhibition:

In Hannah Toticki’s first solo exhibition at Wilson Saplana Gallery, she focuses on the concept of interconnectedness. It is manifested in a series of ambitious works, the largest being a water-installation titled A Million Times And More consisting of a network of water pipes and kitchen sinks. The water flows rhythmically at programmed intervals, as if the taps were being opened and closed by invisible hands. The installation thus becomes both a sound work as well as a physical sculpture. With the title of the installation which also names the exhibition, Toticki refers to the repetitive reproductive work, to cooking, to the endless dishwashing, and to all the carework that connects us. We are also connected by water. A million of drops of water are absorbed into and expelled from our bodies, and the daily routines in our homes are made possible by our infrastructure of this essential water. This water we take for granted in our daily lives, but which is increasingly a scarce resource on a global scale. In Toticki’s exhibition, the water pipes have literally stepped out of the wall, making visible the systems and our interconnectedness.
