Almost everyone growing up in the 1990s at some point watched the cult comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Jim Carrey’s performance in the movie about a quirky detective and defender of human rights brought him worldwide fame. This exhibition by artist duo COUPLE - Swiss painter Louisa Gagliardi and Adam Cruces, originally from Texas - takes its title from a moment in the movie when a moneyed lady accosted by Ace Ventura for wearing fur responds: “There is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of nature.” At the “Fruits of Nature” exhibition, the fruits of nature are converted to a more general level, becoming the banal human vices and needs that we all - consciously or subconsciously - wish to tolerate.
