Tumblr aesthetics from the early 2010s continue to stage a major comeback, fuelled by TikTok and an insatiable thirst for the past. Pastel tones, soft grunge, vintage nostalgia and indie sleaze – these iconic visuals that once defined an entire generation are now being reimagined in Obsidian Upset, an exhibition centred around the short film of the same name, written and directed by Lucia Farrow and Mila Rowyszyn, two best friends and artists “pretending to be filmmakers”, they tell Dazed.
This exhibition is a Tumblr-inspired, neo-noir tale of modern girlhood
