limbs melting into stone pillars
limbs melting into stone pillars takes the formal idea of a ruin into a physical artistic process. instead of stone, visitors find medial debris of an artistic process: videos, headphones, asymmetrically weighted jackets, a photo series, all scattered throughout a building in corners, edges, in between doorways, reminiscent bits of a performance that never happened.
thematically, the work deals with impact:
impact events have played an important role in the evolution of bodies.
the formation and shape of the solar system, the evolutionary history of life.
impact events shape bodies.
when large objects impact bodies, there can be significant physical and biospheric consequences, though atmospheres mitigate many surface impacts through auratic entry.
impact events mark the beginning or/and end of a body.
impact puts bodies in motion and also stops bodies’ motion.
