X - XY

chromosomes

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.
