St Frigo 1996

"St Frigo" (1996) by Jimmie Durham is a sculpture that depicts an aged white refrigerator, its surface marred with chipped paint and a dense pattern of black specks. Durham, known for his thought-provoking works, often incorporates found objects to engage viewers in dialogue about cultural identity, colonialism, and the legacy of historical trauma. His use of the refrigerator, a ubiquitous symbol of domesticity and consumerism, invites viewers to consider the societal implications of such objects and the complex relationship between individuals and their material possessions.
