replica of nostalgia (2024)

7x4
installation The work aims to be a deconstructed version of the digital works, both through its own materials as well as the reaction and impact on the industrial environment it existed in. Where materials exist without others giving them purpose – cables without anywhere to go, fences with nothing to hold, flowers with nowhere to grow etc.

I wanted the installation to reference the digital works, which themselves are constructed out of purposeful industrial and organic elements arranged in a way that symbolizes the archaic attempts by humans to overcome nature and the decay of human created systems through new combinations which render them useless and absurd.
