Luckk Parker
Framing Devices explores the paradox of growing up in a world already saturated with images of other people’s pasts. The Post-Internet Nostalgia Generation – Luckk Parker’s name for the generation caught between Millennial and Gen Z – born into the internet’s adolescence, has inherited not only its digital artefacts but also its peculiar affect: anemoia, the longing for a time one never lived. These fragments, preserved with digital stubbornness, do not degrade like memory; they remain lossless, keeping us suspended between adolescence and adulthood, between personal recollection and collective myth.
By translating digital flatness into material form, Framing Devices asks how memory – false, borrowed, or fabricated – shapes our sense of self. The works hover between intimacy and exposure, archive and projection, permanence and fragility. These works are unstable monuments: containers for longing, residues of bedrooms both real and imagined, and mirrors of a generation caught in a feedback loop of desire, memory and delay.
