Residuum or Something that remains continues to exist when other things no longer do,
Residuum or Something that remains continues to existwhen other things no longer do presents an installation of seven anti-monuments that create an autonomous terrain1. A terrain of silentremnants of rêveries2 in which wind doesn’t blow onto the reproduced surfaces, and everything or nothing stands still; in which the terrain doesn’t leave;in which only the rêveries imagine what lays below the thin cemented skin and someone has to dare to fragilize them.
Oscillating between speculative and function-less entities, the system of concrete and wooden sculptures figure anti-memorials to non-human entities. Inspired by an underground water structure found in cities (hidden catch-basins), the installation reevaluates the potentiality of disregarded urban infrastructure to become more-than-material aesthetic entities.
Residuum critically reassesses the postindustrialbuilt environment and the dehumanized, distanced modes of interaction between bodies and utilitarian urban infrastructure.
