The work consists of several pieces made from dumped clothing, litter, and a ‘nucleus’ made of a silicone globe filled with mycelium. The clothes are shredded into strips of textile and then affixed to the globe alongside litter found on site, forming amorphous clusters of multicolored fibers and materials; a soft oversized puff, an undefined fluffy post-object.

Following the ideas I’ve been developing around this notion, a post-object could be considered as an unprecedented novel organism made up of organic and synthetic bodies that attempts a certain degree of an autonomous existence by retaining some of the material and aesthetic qualities of its constituents but transforming, disintegrating, distilling, and mutating them into uncanny new entities.

These conglomerates will then be installed in different spots around the city: suspended from walls and power lines, inserted into abandoned spaces and neglected infrastructures — always seeking spatial and material interstices in which to take root. Think of them then, like future organisms that begin to manifest themselves in the most unusual places, growing out of the city’s detritus and rubble, absorbing, sticking and integrating everything around them.

The organisms will effectively grow and change over time: as the strips of textile (intervened with scraps of rubbish from the site) give shape and volume to the ensemble, the globes of silicone, filled with mycelium and a substrate will begin to sprout fungal fruiting bodies a few days after inoculation. The result will be a continually transforming artwork that will respond to environmental factors and the possible intervention of passerby.
