AGGREGATE BODY is an installation engaging with the mechanics of desubjectification through the lure of space, a phantasmagorical encoding of the progressively corroding thresholds between the psychic apparatus and the world, technical fictions and reality, and the animate and inanimate. By means of technologically-mediated assimilations into space, the materials and images comprising the installation establish synthetic articulations and diverging time-scales, entering into composition with a landscape where they are presented as geo-industrial residues.
In a dialogue made out of convoluting leaks between computer-generated images of the Crystal Palace, nested artificial environments where phasmid insects’ dwell, and a diagrammatic monolith of concrete and steel, the discontinuities and associations of conceptual scaffoldings, histories of technology, exhibitionary complexes, inorganic entomology, and bio-mythographic compositions manifest into a skeletonizing topological cluster of obtuse gestures.
