House of the Last Star Traveler
2023/exhibition view
M BOOKS - space for architecture and related fields, Weimar, GER / 2023
from House of the Last Star Traveler
The installation “House of the Last Star Traveler” consists of a series of sculptural works that draw the attention towards the intrinsic agency of surfaces and their role in constructing our realities in the wake of a growing sense of instability and dead futures. Thus, surfaces aren’t only treated as images but through stitching, nailing, stapling, and gluing them together as immediate material itself to thwart dissociating whilst wandering amongst the ruinous.
I owe a lot to Prof. Mona Mahall and Prof. Mark Shepard for their continuous support! Thank you!
