RUMBLING WITHIN
Galleria Sculptor - Finland
May 2024
As our reality undergoes a gradual metamorphosis under the sway of voracious technological machinery, the organic rhythms of the natural world seem to fade deeper into obscurity. Through a delicate interplay of form and material, the works in this exhibition invite viewers to contemplate the intrinsic connections between the development and decay of human society, drawing subtle parallels between the materiality and function of modern technologies, the exploitation of mineral resources, and the degradation of our planet’s ecosystems.
These ceramic pieces, materialized through 3D automated layering machines, contain traces of residual sand and salt from deep-sea oi drilling process, capturing an essential aspect of the modern human condition, where the existence of organic bodies is intrinsically intertwined with fossil fuel industry and the mechanical structures that permeate all levels of society.
The realization of this exhibition was supported by Svenska Kulturfonden and Arts Promotion Centre Finland TAIKE.
