“Residues of the body. The body as residue. Microcosms of the heart, skin, tendons, cells, blood. The waste, bi-product, co-creations made tangible in the body, memory and recorded in material. This is an archive of the miasma.”

Exhibition Statement: MICROCOSMIC ARTIFACTS

Residues of the body. The body as residue. Microcosms of the heart, skin, tendons, cells, blood. The waste, bi-product, co-creations made tangible in the body, memory and recorded in material. This is an archive of the miasma.

Sometimes following yourself is enough of an intention. Looping and return.

We made this ahead of ourselves. Breadcrumbs. Let’s pull the relics out. Gather our treasures in a pile someone would murder to find.

But they can not and will not because you code it, cloak it. With billions of individual languages. No one can decipher the other lest we give in to the power of tongues. And if you’re here you know.

“ yes. It was telepathy. But at that point they needed these machines to access their own telepathy. That’s what a sad state, meaning planetary moment, it was.”
