Assimilation Complete: Autocatalytic Form Replication touches on key structural points in emergence of form, articulating and mapping a development no longer bound to the elements of successful particular state (those that might survive and carry forward into subsequent expression). Rather, it traces unsuccessful elements—evolutionary dead ends destined to vanish. In doing so, it inevitably moves beyond the boundaries of knowledge defined by transparency and legibility into the viscous core of speculation.
The installation consists of a large-scale imprint situated within the spatial construction of artificial leather patches that serve as its environment. The imprint, as a technique of reproduction, destabilises the relationship between the matrix and the copy. Instead of marking a clear distinction between the original and its repetition, it generates a field of uncertainty in which every trace is simultaneously confirmation and erasure of the matrix. Within this field, form ceases to exist simply as content or expression; it asserts itself in space as an anachronistic trace, engaging the real through an enigmatic absence—the absence of the matrix—by which the drawing opens itself to the incursions of ontological contingency.
The exhibition was developed within the U30+ programme for supporting young artists.
