CONCEPT
A wall sculpture subverting the codes of prehistoric adornment, X-XY stages a necklace of claws, incisors and shells whose silhouette seems to emerge from a rock face.
The work questions our era on the phenomenon of androcentrism, a mechanism of projection that tends to apply our power structures and gender hierarchies to ancient adornments in order to better legitimise those of the present.
The work's rewilding takes place through a graphic bio-integration process that allows Nature to reclaim its surface, generating a network of lines that interweaves the material according to its own design, in order to question our mechanisms of systemic projection.
