In Reference to the invisible - pendulum
28.11.25 - 04.01.2026
#5 related to corporeality
At the center of my work lies the question of how order and chaos
shape our understanding of the world. My new series examines how
scientific models and religious–esoteric systems function as
interpretive and strategic responses to societal uncertainty. Chaos,
decay, and instability emerge here as fundamental dynamics that
structure both individual and collective forms of action.
In
this body of work, the pendulum appears as a seismograph of the
invisible—at once a research tool, divinatory device, and system of
orientation that renders the transitions between rational analysis and
intuitive perception visible. The wax-cast sculptures mark a state of
transition: wax is only temporarily fixed, malleable, and sensitive to
external influences. It embodies that fragile zone of transformation in
which interpretation and understanding must continually be renegotiated.
