Artificial Meta-Memory

In an era where the natural is receding and the artificial becomes the only remaining promise of reproduction, the trunk of a once-tree stands as a suspended organism, a metabiological spine. What once grew organically is now reconstructed piecemeal, on a backbone that functions as an artificial shoot.

The work is located precisely at the point of transition from the organic to the meta-organic. Where the natural has no capacity to reproduce, and existence now depends on the possibility of reconstruction. A trace of material without identity, transparent, fragile, yet persistent, nailed to metal axes that function as invasive mechanisms of preservation. It is like a body that never died, but did not live either — artificially reconstituted, not as memory, but as a model of survival.

The light, penetrating, reinforces the inner instability, while the almost fleshy traces, remind us that what we see may once have been "alive". The work resembles the lost skin of an unknown form, something between a fossil and a reconstruction. A sample of the after, when the before has collapsed.

The work functions as a vertical monumental gesture. Not as a tribute to the past, however, but as a testimony to the future: a future where nature will not reproduce itself, but will be synthesized. It will survive only thanks to the reunification of its fragments. An era when, for something to remain real, it must be false – or rather, artificially true.
