Spirit Structures

 

Spirit Structure is part of a continuum of works that can be considered as light-sculptures. Acting as elementary holograms that animate forms captured as visual data, these more-than-sculptural appearences resonate the wonder-machines of ancient theater, 19th century Phantasmagoria mechanisms, and sci-fi imaginaries of ethereally disembodied subjectivities. Spirit Structure reflects on the uncanniness of the interior body-form, the silent perpetual dance of the circulatory systems of life support, the fragility and vitality of the Other that is to be found in the inner-self. It mirrors multi-scalar structures from the inorganic to the vegetal and animal domain, the networked infrastructures that facilitate contemporary sociality, the quantum and cosmic phenomena of flux, movement and etropic metamorphosis. It pleads for the reclaiming of the eery powers and vigorous symbolisms of “anatomy” from its unjust institutional past of marginalization and exploitation of sexualized, racialized, and convict bodies.
