During the MQ ART BOX exhibition the sculpture, which was made entirely with latex, will be under constant exposure to the surrounding light. Due to its light- sensitive characteristics the material turns darker and more porous as time goes by. Eighthundred and fifty strands that have been poured into the surface are simultaneously drawing into the sand beneath. The installation moves in waves through programmed motors.
Based on the theories and stories by the Swedish natural scientist Carl von Linné the viewer is confronted with a staged scenario of an amorphous being: »Non crescent, non vivet, non sentinunt (it doesn’t grow, it doesn’t live, it doesn’t feel!)!
