Party for 1

This holiday season, the Party for One invites you to a solitary celebration for New Years 2021. Presenting a literal glimpse into the near future, participants take a seat at an empty table set for five, with their own reflection being the sole attendee. Black, silver and gold decorations fill the off-white, lifeless space with a synthetic sense of cheer, evoking the idea that this small celebration could take place in anyone’s apartment, anywhere. Just as the participant begins to adjust to the isolation, a festive but hollow countdown plays as the partygoer rings in the new year alone. A camera quietly captures the moment to display above the exhibit, framed by an instagram border and a sense of detachment. The Party For One reimagines connection through our celebrations, as for many of us this holiday season, our strongest connection is with our wifi signal. -Victoria
