Installation, performance;
Steel pipes, needles, ice
2018
Solo exhibition @ Galleri Snerk, Tromsø, NO

Contrasting the notion of contemporary fluidity with political and economic issues of the Global North, Transfusion is composed by sculptural objects made
of galvanized steel and small needles, which are sustained by hidden magnets, revealing
an inherent tension inside each of them. The steel pieces were gathered over the course of
several months along the coastal region of Tromsø. The material was collected from waste
containers or through direct negotiation with the industries.
In the opening night, squared ice blocks were placed in between the sculptures. As the ice
melts, the visual outcome of the installation is what results from this non-human entropic
process. The project attempted to re ect upon the production of space as the reproduction
of domination policies, questioning if art can re-signify conditioned spatial systems.
Transfusion intended to connect two divergent perceptions of natural uids: one guided by
its physical force and another guided by its metaphoric and exchange value.
