This contemporary art installation features two acrylic boxes filled with shimmering gold elements. The overall composition creates a striking visual contrast between the transparent containers and the reflective metallic contents.

RM (formerly Real Madrid) is an artist collective. Their practice is situated at the intersection of sexuality, consumption, and identity. It deals with the mechanics of revelation in reaction to the secrecy of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and with their impact on the experience of pariahs in disguise. STDs contributed to the gathering of subcultures around their struggles, while carrying a shame that historically contributed to the othering of communities. Alluding to irony and the use of gruesome humour, RM works around the linguistic detours employed to protect the unspoken, turning it into a tool to reclaim one’s own story. Regional products, including fruits and territorial diseases, have been and are ways to indirectly refer to sexual struggles.
