Contemporânea

Let us dive into the flesh of matter. As a materialist feminist, you don’t think about matter but you think with matter. Complex histories are enshrined in the materials you decide to work with: stories of working bodies, of sanding machines, of stone erosion, from humans up to geological times. Speaking about storied matter is not only using a material metaphor, and acknowledging its narrative agencies as active co-authors that shape the work, but also more largely the world, and thus co-determine our existence. Does your interest rely on the biographies of the object? Or on the stories of matter itself, related to an urge to become more graspable for humans?
