The installation OVERLAP combines modular design with living flora, a dialogue between the biological system of plant material and the seemingly lifeless aluminum.
The presented material matters are systems, they follow a logic and interact with space.
“A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole.”
(Merriam-Webster)
A system, situated in a space, can be defined by its boundaries, structure and purpose, and is expressed in its functioning and self-preservation.
The aluminum profiles are originally developed to production facility lines. Intrinsically their purpose is to give space to a secondary system. This secondary system which initially would hold the means of production gets replaces by plants – flowers. Both realms of objects now share the same place, they interact, they overlap.
Natural and artificial is not oppositional, it’s dialectical.
