In ‘Call It What You Want’ – Kayode Ojo’s solo exhibition at Berlin-based gallery Sweetwater – a series of chandeliers hangs from two metal chains strung across the room like necklaces. Titled Up to Here (all works 2021), the installation suggests an opulence that is undercut by its materials: five of the eight chandeliers are made from acrylic in place of crystal. A similar deception is on display in I Put all of my Energy into this Tower, five mirror-plated letterboxes filled with components from the Kiev 88 – an inexpensive, medium-format camera based on the iconic Hasselblad. Named after a quote from Ben Wheatley’s 2015 film adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s class-based satire Hi-Rise (1975), it immediately brings to mind the kind of commodity-obsessed social climbers who populate the author’s novels.
