Ridiculism is the idea that some things become more
ridiculous the deeper you understand them. It's an artistic
movement and philosophical framework. The deeper the rabbit
hole, the funnier the architecture.
The artist
Pie creates works or ridiculism. She said that a ridiculist artwork does not exist in any single object, painting, poem, film, book, post, tweet or performance. It exists in the pattern formed between multiple works across time. A painter might draw a
tree on a canvas. A photographer might take a picture of one. Someone creating works of ridiculism might wear a shirt made of lyocell - a fibre made from wood pulp - on Monday; sing a song about
water and soil on Tuesday; draw a yellow
sun on a wall on Wednesday; dance across a stage on Friday, waving their hands in the air while kicking pieces of paper across the floor; remind you on Saturday that the colour brown makes them think of Thursday; and dye their hair
green on Sunday. Concept:
tree. But the
tree exists nowhere individually. It emerges through time and pattern recognition.
