Open Call | Banana Slips ELSEHERE Open Call
Banana Slips
A banana peel often exists only in a fleeting, overlooked moment:consumed, discarded, stepped on. It is a trivial residue, and the starting point of an accident. A loss of bodily balance, a rupture in order, a deviation from an intended path.
Banana Slips takes the banana peel as an entry point to invite artists to attend to things and moments that appear insignificant yet actively intervene in reality:failure, absurdity, embarrassment, risk, misuse, slipping, or subtle disruptions of everyday order.
The banana peel is both object and metaphor, a trace left after consumption, a bodily reaction that precedes rational thought, and a site where systems reveal themselves through minor cracks.
We are interested in how artists misread, magnify, dismantle, or redefine this image, transforming it into works with contemporary relevance and critical depth.
