public comb one s hair back

This looping animation from October 2023 is part of the artist’s ‘absurdities’ collection. Its title, ‘public comb one s hair back’, describes a mundane grooming act performed in a social space. The artist’s note confirms this title with a minor variation. By placing this ordinary scenario within a collection focused on the illogical, the work frames a common behaviour as a subject for observation. The piece exemplifies terkarak’s practice of isolating specific actions, using a concise format to scrutinise the conventions of public conduct. It was issued in an edition of eleven.
