Tacky Traces (2025)
object, shoe, mud, miniature speaker 28 × 12 × 10 cm
The work investigates the tension between nature and technology through a hybrid object. A right shoe, immobilized in a stepping gesture and covered with dried earth, becomes a sound carrier. From its interior emerge the low-frequency hum of a flying insect and the sound of a reversing Tesla electric car, whose interplay vibrates the soil, gradually causing it to crumble.
The shoe acts as a fragile shell-simultaneously dead and potentially fertile. The collision of natural and technological elements does not result in a clear transformation, but produces a suspended state, suggesting the decay of the old order and the potential emergence of a new, undefined form.
