Zombies Routine a kind of domesticity which weaves its way into our everyday repeated actions and reactions. The works of Bending Binding, Skye Chamberlain, Hadrien Gérenton, Beatrice Marchi, Jaakko Pallasvuo and Jana Schröder all have to do with a visual environment connected to ordinary everyday life.

Functional, decorative, entertaining, they replay a familiar scene. A chair with a cushion, a video about cats to share on social networks, a tutorial ‘turn and ceramic’, a tag drawn casually with someone’s fnger on a dusty object, a small amateur painting to hang in the corner by the freplace, a forgotten pack of cigarettes, a buried bottle, these are the ghosts of our obsessions, our daily routine zombies.
