Goodbye, This is...
Studio Giovanelli

Goodbye, This is…  by Lola Kingsley encapsulates a visual diary documenting the artist’s reflections from recent years, exploring the romanticized concept of “coming of age” and the fleeting nature of youth. This body of work offers a contemporary sociological perspective on how street culture, cityscapes, and the post-adolescent generation exist in
direct cohesion with one another. Through its ephemeral and intimate depiction of the self, the installation delves into themes of nostalgia and community.

The work reveals the essence of a transformative period marked by constant change and uncertainty - symbolising one’s farewell to innocence and the onset of early adulthood. Whether it is through personal interactions with these city characters or by focusing on cities as subjects, Kingsley engages with the subcultures that emerge from the interplay between the impermanence of youth and urban environments.

The installation is both a tribute to her peers and an invitation for viewers to reflect on how the city influences youth and how youth shapes culture.
