Published on the occasion of the eponymous solo exhibition of the Greek artist Vasilis Papageorgiou at Salzburger Kunstverein, Sunseekers or Dimming the Sun or invites contemplation on capitalist systems of pleasure, their role in the cyclical depletion of planetary resources, and the loop these create in relation the need for rest and regeneration. Pitting the tourism industry against the ecological destruction it wreaks, Papageorgiou employs sunbeds, solar panels, and copper-plated beach towels to create a middle ground where pleasure meets preservation.
