Many exciting things have happened since I returned to New York and I have been delaying to share my work for some days.

Topographies of Delusional Immortality was the work I developed during my residency at @emmapforzheim in Pforzheim, Germany between April and June.

I am very grateful to the team at EMMA who were very supportive during my time there. Especially to Almut Benkert, Alexandra Vogt, Marie Zimmermann, Nelly Klaus, Fabian Jäger, Richard Rotfuss and Benedikt Adler

I had specifically applied to the residency knowing that I wanted to work with electroforming. Pforzheim is a city known for its automotive and jewelry therefore allowing me to work in a galvanic workshop. I used this technique to make electrical circuits into textiles creating a hybrid of agglomerate materials where it becomes difficult to separate the properties between metal and fabric.

Topographies of Delusional Immortality delves into the symbolic representations of power and the constructed landscapes that echo humanity’s patriarchal obsession with permanence and defiance of time. This exploration manifests through the examination of monuments, pedestals, and mausoleums—structures that epitomize stability, rigidity, and endurance. These forms stand as testaments to human endeavors to combat the forces of nature and assert dominance over the temporal realm. They echo ancient alchemists’ quest for immortality through the transmutation of metals into gold and in achieving the eternal life. Viewed through an anthropocentric lens, these sculptures are “brought to life” through electrical currents. In this work, the interplay between linen fibers and metal symbolizes a subversion of traditional material hierarchies. Through an alchemical fusion, rigid structures transform into fluid and malleable forms and in this way invite to reconsider what is deemed valuable and permanent.
