Entangled Flashes / Verwickelte Blitze, Galerie Spinnerei Archiv Massiv 2024
This exhibition explores entangled light. Between diagram and painting, lines of light and energy connect the primordial and the industrial, pointing to the exploitation of nature and technology. Intangible light consolidates into thread, weaves through stove tops, flashes from colour, shines through glaze. In the facets of crystalline paintings, light refracts through pigments, through crystal eyes, feeding our evolutionary bodies. Then, light rakes across the surface, casting shadows – to trace, to draw, to paint… and sometimes to cast shadows of doubt.
At this current time, we recognise that life is bound and liberated by light – it divides and energises. Photosynthesis in leaves mirrors photoreception in eyes. The eye – light assemblage transforms into chemical energy as a material line that weaves into actions and words, hardware and codes. The convergence of sign and life is woven by spiders who spin threads of entangled flashes, the corporeal nature of geometric forms. The web, the alchemical circle, the orphic, the rotorelief and the optical unconscious bring aesthetics into the scientific fields of optics and physiology. But in a flash, it will be over… like everything else.
