Beautiful things fading away
2023, graduation show, KHM2 gallery, Malmö, tutor Alejandro Cesarco
Beautiful things fading away is about relationships; how we and things are structured through the relationships we belong to, not only in the present but also in the past; how a spiritual experience, a distant place, a past relationship or a person who is no longer there continue to resonate in us, still shaping the present. Beautiful things fading away is simultaneously a sensation and an atmosphere, and each work within it is a fragment of it.
Beautiful things fading away (encounter)
2023, rotating dry thistles, brass pipes, motors, cables, power supplies, life-size
Two dried thistles rotate, occasionally touching and producing a sound of friction. Artificial brass extensions stretch out like stems, with electrical wires running through them, resembling an electric nervous system that has replaced the plant’s lymphatic system. These structures suggest that each thistle has traveled a long distance before encountering the other. Their dance is sometimes gentle, violent, amusing, romantic, melancholic, erotic, and raw, reflecting the wide range of possibilities in the dynamics of an encounter.
Beautiful things fading away (conversation)
2023, Heat-bent metal, motors activated by the recording of a conversation, audio device, cables, 50x70x75 and 50x70x85 cm
An audio recording of a conversation is converted into electrical impulses and transmitted to two motors, which are thereby activated. These small motors rotate according to the rhythm of the pre-recorded conversation, striking the metal sculptures and causing them to resonate. Although the two metal sculptures do not resonate in the same way, they resonate with the same memory.
Beautiful things fading away (paper)
2023, Recycled paper from unsent letters, handmade brass frame, wood, 24×18 cm
This sheet of paper is the result of recycling letters that were never sent. I collected them during my travels, asking various people if they had one, or if they felt like writing one freely—knowing it would never be sent. Most of the contents of these letters remain unknown to me.
Beautiful things fading away (sleep)
2023, Bedroom Ceiling fan, dried almond blossom, brass chains, coffin screws, brassed metal tube, natural light, 230x106x106 cm
I created openings by cutting into the double wall of the exhibition space, which originally had no windows. These openings allow natural light to filter in from the building’s original structure, hidden behind the double wall. In this room, only natural light illuminates the work.
What you see is a bedroom fan, motionless—the first thing you see in the morning, and the last thing at night, lying in bed. A still life, a monument to elsewhere.
