RABI Towing’s We Buy Souls at the Good Mother Gallery

The eye-catching signs declare “We Buy Souls!” They cover the environs of Los Angeles and other cities in the U.S. and abroad. Most are attached to telephone poles or walls, alongside similarly styled advertisements proclaiming “Cash for Homes” or “We Buy Gold.” Four years ago, RABI (David Emanuel Mordechai Torres) conceptualized We Buy Souls as a living artwork that was “equal parts installation, performance, marketing experiment, and dark satire.” As a gallery installation, We Buy Souls is bombastic and over the top. The space is filled not only with posters in multiple languages, but also documents, paintings, photographs, and sculptures.
