A steel shelving system hosts a fragment of bread, once eaten by birds in the city, collected, and formed in copper. From humans to birds and back again, the project traces the journey of the bread fragment across species and perceptual worlds, as it is reshaped and bears the traces of each encounter. Torn, pecked, ignored, retrieved, and electroformed, the object accumulates gestures enacted by multiple beings, condensing urban interactions into a layered material record.
Additionally, a mounted speaker directs field-recorded sounds through a glass tube filled with a mix of organic and inorganic materials. The setup references eighteenth-century glass enclosures used to observe plant life, as well as acoustic apparatuses developed to visualize sound through the patterned movement of matter. As vibrations pass through the tube, each element filters, reflects, and absorbs sound differently. Over time, and under the conditioning effects of the enclosure, the materials shift, dry, and degrade, subtly reconfiguring the system and altering how vibration travels.
Together, the pieces explore the continuous negotiation between living and non-living agents, where energy, matter, and attention circulate and transform each other within shared environments.
