Distorted Symmetries

Exhibited at OCT South Zone, Shenzhen

March to May 2024

The installation consists of two works. Both work with the notion of perception, distortion and symmetrical arrangements that dissolve into pseudo-symmetrical perceived elements.

The first work is Déjà Vu, a work portraying the resonance memory of a post-industrial and post-natural landscape. They are in parallel from the actual, 3d scanned parts of our cultured nature- super saturated celebrations of a new Nature -they have become cultural artifacts. The digital new landscapes have no reference point to what once was landscape and nature in the truest sense of wilderness – this is a celebration of the digital wilderness.

The second work, Glass Mitosis, follows the notion of primordial mitosis—the splitting of a single cell into two—the beginning of complex forms of life.The two nuclei cells are held together by a web often dril-like structures, analogous to the biological cell growth when forming multicellular higher-order organisms. The fragile glass cells multiple and populate, yet immediately are in conversation with a foreign species.
