Becoming

Zacheta National Gallery of Contemporary Art, Warsaw, Poland | 2014 | Solo Installation

Becoming is an installation consisting of hundreds of pompons – a set of inconspicuous coloured dots installed in space in a spontaneous, but well thought through configuration. The flexibility, mobility and modularity of the wired ‘fluffy atoms’ – which viewers can touch and set in motion – constitutes a spectacular performative aspect, liberating the composition from abstraction’s pomposity or conventionality. And this leads directly to a process in which a known and proven order undergoes a transformation of becoming something completely new.
