Abstract
Z is a name created by the project to collect and follow what it perceives as indelible, a situation with resounding atmosphere:
- The snap of an unripe nectarine, its dulled sweetness.
- The posture of a praying mantis, its scissor blade arms.
- The smell of air conditioning.
- A dark tone of green.
Z is the moment where one swoons, drawn into the grips of a presence, as familiar as it is unexplained. The project analyses spaces, objects, and situations where Z threatens to exist. The project searches for Z in the way one may follow a sound, not knowing what it is, searching for its source.
The project uses alleged recordings of Z as the conceptual basis of a sculptural practice involving the making of objects and spaces.
