PESI KOMAR

The work Evolution of Structure spreads out over the different exhibition rooms: a large-scale sculpture gradually invades the rounded walls of the space. It begins in one room, sprouting out from a small architectural form, and then, like a parasite that has found a suitable host, multiplies itself, growing and becoming more complex and monstrous until it takes over almost the entire structure. In a reproduction-like process the basic architectural element turns into a complex space: from object – to room – to house – to city. Like the frames in a video, the sculpture is cut into many stages, piled one on top of the other until a single whole space is created. The inanimate element, spreading and growing like a living creature, presents the possibility of a disrupted environment that has gotten out of control: like mildew, mold, or a plague spreading on the wall, it, too, is subject to the dictates of place and the limitations of physical space but at the same time annexes and conquers the space for its needs.
