The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (Exhibition Opening) (Set of 5 Photographs)

Compilation of photographs taken at the opening of Roberto Chabet's solo exhibition, 'The Psychopathology of Everyday Life'. The exhibition features a same-titled two-part installation exhibited simultaneously at Finale and West Galleries, SM Megamall from 13 - 25 March 1997.
Notable figures in the album include Benjamin Bautista (Image 1, 4), Antonio Austria (Image 2), Gerry Tan (Image 2), Nilo Ilarde (Image 2), Tigi Barcelona (Image 3), Roberto Chabet (Image 4), Ramon Katigbak (Image 4), and Jonathan Olazo (Image 5).

Excerpt from the press release written by Chabet:
'The two space-specific installations using familiar, almost nondescript objects such as balls, index boxes, tables, clipboards, and army-surplus camouflage, explore the slippages of meanings unleashed when quirks of the unconscious mind (the artist's as well as the viewers') set in unpredictable collision courses the objects and images that inhabit our everyday life.

'Forgetting, Slips of the Tongue, Bungled Actions, Superstitions, and Errors', the subtitle of Sigmund Freud's book from the exhibition derives its title, serves as a virtual agenda for the  works in which visual 'Freudian slips' pry the uncanny from the humdrum surfaces of everyday life.'
