Only Fresh Today, 2025 · Installation view
About the work
Beginning with Mina’s photography, cyanotype images become linked textiles, a soft seat and bread-like objects. Repeated, displayed and replaced, they question the individual’s place within systems of continuous production.
Cyanotype on fabric, textile construction and soft sculptural forms.
Artist’s note
Only Fresh Today begins with Mina’s own photography: an encounter between a person and a projected image, where presence and illusion occupy the same space. These experiments consider the attachments and fantasies of contemporary life — images pursued like shadows, offering the promise of intimacy while remaining out of reach.
Translated into cyanotype, the photographic image becomes a surface to be repeated, cut, joined and reorganised. Individual figures take their place within linked textile structures; screen-like patterns accumulate across a soft seat. The person appears as a small component within a larger apparatus, contributing to its movement while their particularity recedes.
The bread-like textile objects extend this enquiry into the language of daily production. Displayed as the output of a bakery, they evoke a freshness that lasts a single day: produced, valued, replaced. Repetition becomes both a method of making and a social condition, through which individual difference is subordinated to the continuous operation of the line.
