Eelko Moorer: In the Jungle Groove is a site specific installation that exploits the anthropological and psychological as the user precariously and perilously swings through the vines to the maze of suspended objects, choosing their movements with care so as not to fall. For Moorer, the structure offers an antidote to the white cube formula of a gallery or modish domestic environment, while the objects themselves playfully exaggerate our notions of domesticity.
