Dripping stillness, conceived in the depths of a basement; charged with the archetypical force of the underworld—part laboratory for synthetic matter experimentation, part home to arthropods that preceded this work.
A dark, humid, and silent ecosystem of oscillating organisms being bred— some pre-living, intra-uterus still, yet beating; waiting to be awakened from the eternal dream to consciousness.
For them, trans-living possibilities await, where their acephalous bodies will meet the cold steel clasp of surgical interventions—suspended limbs as a result of partial procedures; interrupted amputations conceived for the delight of prosthetic engineering.
In the center, an autonomous entity of cyclical nature; shadow-working like the moon. Perpetually self-phagocytizing fluids — an ouroboros with no head or tail, only ghostly matter shifting states: the womb, the portal giving birth, to a cluster of leaky children in cautious stillness—a dripping ecosystem- meta-material.
Die Organprojektion & Metameria were presented as part of my solo exhibition titled "Dripping Stillness" (Curatorial text by Julieta Colantonio)
