Reviews
“Replications, duplications, and reiterations jostle in Phoenix Fry’s sculptures and videos that go beyond pastiche to build an almost-animalist pantheon. Using conversations with friends and the paraphernalia of YouTube clips, field recordings with the swaddling-sweet comfort food of pop music and mass entertainment, a visit to Singapore’s zoo with a fear of the dark, Fry whips up a melt, a melange of multi-layered offerings that offer an alternative story-world, one where we may read ourselves into the zoo.” Shubigi Rao, 2024
