This is not karaoke. This is a feedback ritual in a museum space that feels like the aftermath of a party. Glitter without guests, echoes without origins. Repeat After Me is based on :mentalKLINIK's long running series Contempoetry, a synthetic form of poetry made up of oxymorons, slogans and algorithmic murmurs. No one is heard here, but everyone is repeated. Mantras like "Sweet and sour, anti-bacterial love" and "Me, Me, My, Mine" continue to circulate: catchy, absurd and stripped of any references. What looks like entertainment veers towards mimetic sabotage: a loop in which subject, screen and voice are combined. From this archive emerges a contemporary delirium in which every phrase is a gesture of conformism and simultaneously a sign of resistance.
