CRYPTOMERSIVE

Video animation, 5 × 5 m, and the master it was projected from

A dense radial burst of gold filaments exploding from a single point on black, thousands of fine threads reaching to the edges

The work projected five metres square, a visitor silhouetted small against it — Espronceda, Barcelona, 2021, a person is a silhouette inside the image

A symmetrical gold structure like a spine or a cathedral nave, wire triangles fanning out to either side — Folded eight ways, a drawn line becomes architecture

Threads of white and orange light rushing outward across the projection wall

Gold filament grown into cathedral symmetry on black. Threads rush out from a centre, gather into arches and towers, collapse, and start again. It runs seven minutes at 2160 by 2160, square, because it was made to fill a dome and a five-metre wall rather than a screen.

A tall gold column of filaments rising from a wide base, flanked by two smaller towers — Seven minutes, never quite repeating

A dense radial field of light filling the gallery wall

The symmetry is doing the work. Folded eight ways, a drawn line stops reading as drawing and starts reading as architecture, or as something anatomical, the shape the eye accepts as sacred without being told to. Scale finishes the argument: standing at the wall, a person is a silhouette inside the image rather than a viewer in front of it.

Filaments gathered into a low horizontal band with fine structures scattered above and below

A burst of light threads scattering outward, a visitor small against the scale

A narrow vertical spine of gold thread with dark space to either side, near the end of the loop

Shown at Espronceda in Barcelona in 2021, again during Art Lover Solo at Raima, and selected for DoinGud's "Origins" open call. A VR version was shown at Centre Culturel Bellegarde in Toulouse. The frames here are pulled from his own delivery master.
