Materially reversed plastic components from exteroceptive sensors used in humanoid robotics, a deceased person’s clothing (preserved by their partner) regenerated into textile fibers and later crystallized in wellness salts, plants processed by removing chlorophyl, liquid corticotrophin (the hormone responsible for the sensation of pain), aluminum tubes, light colour RGB #54123124.

The exhibition explores the relationship between human beings and non-human entities during the bereavement process. Originating from a reflection on today’s innumerable attempts to achieve immortality with increasingly advanced and eccentric technologies, the materials present in the space are the result of various manipulations of the temporal line of the collected objects: acceleration, inversion and suspension of the life cycle become sculptural processes that reflect the inexorable attempt of humankind to control time, and its inevitable failure.
Reassembled in abstract and hybrid forms, the material becomes an independent agent, emancipated from any kind of symbolism and potentially able to assume new forms and meanings. The intervention, in the form of a site-specific installation activated by an unexpected and unannounced performative action, is configured as an ecosystem that has been exploded into its component materials. It escapes the anthropocentric vision by restoring, as fragments, the evidence of a microscopic look at vulnerability and the precariousness of existence.
Metal, oxidation catalyst. The oxidation process was accelerated by 189 days, based on the duration of the suffering endured by a person due to an undisclosed event.
Materially reversed plastic components from exteroceptive sensors used in humanoid robotics, thermal blanket. The heat produced by the thermal blanket equals to the energy consumption of a server of a memorial site storing the data produced by a person in the course of their life.
Light in the the space glows in the colour RGB #54123124, the tone used in thanatosensitive design to emotionally arouse the sense of acceptance.
