Digging for a home

Combining various media, this exhibition explores the role of gregarious insects, particularly ants, in the imaginary and material institution of our societies. I work from photographic images that I manipulate and transfer onto various media in an attempt to shift towards the object.
Together, these images attempt to form a cartography of reflections on the human condition in a universe where social and environmental issues are only addressed through technology. This work questions a double-edged notion of care: is the injunction to take care of ourselves addressed to us, or does it feed our desire for performance?
Through ‘Digging for a home or a grave’, the bodies in contention attempt to stretch out and take their place, while the steel balls travel along the grooves traced for them.
