Allotropy is understood here as a metaphorical phenomenon of transition between different states of the same matter, shaped by conditions external to the subject or source. In relation to the biennial theme “(In)Organic,” this phenomenon is examined through carbon, one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous elements in the terrestrial environment. Its material transformations are translated into the installation’s graphic and sensory narratives.
By recognising that graphite and diamond are both carbon, differentiated by variations in structure and conditions such as pressure and temperature, the project introduces hybridity as a means of questioning the apparent binary between concepts and the conditions assigned to lived experience. The subject becomes a reflection of what is produced through a reciprocal reaction between the individual and the collective.
Within this exchange, multiple perspectives construct an unstable and simultaneously sceptical and romantic condition of being and non-being, in which identity remains subject to transformation, relational perception, and material circumstance.
