Hierarchy (2024) is a consolidation of individual assemblages by Genevieve Leong across multiple bodies of work, all of which deploy the method of stacking as the main gesture within the arrangement. The artist has given ‘hierarchy’ her own definition: “A stack of objects, or things, or humans, one on top of the other – does not actually exist”. Here, the stack is not meant to give priority to the topmost object, but functions as a structure that allows all objects to be seen equally and in collaboration; reinforced by a linear arrangement with no central focus or overlaps. A playful take on I_S_L_A_N_D_S as a window display, these assemblages upend our understanding of what it means to “put something on a pedestal”.
