Description:
Memoriam features a hanging draped piece of fabric. Embedded within the material is a photograph that documents the last day of the artist’s attempt to create an invasive plant asylum. The image printed on the fabric is a record of the moment just after shutting off all of the grow lights. All that can be seen are the corporeal water stains left behind on the shielding screen and the faintly visible impressions of the plants that lie just beyond. These are the last echoes of the living matter that formed the substance of the works in the exhibition before everything was cast away. This indexical ‘Veronica’s Veil’ is the same size as the original scrim and functions as a memento mori for the entire project.
