The
exhibition looks at how contemporary visual culture has been progressively
mutating towards models where seemingly opposite dimensions come together to
create hybrid forms: material and virtual, textual and objectual, organic and
artificial, consumerism and spirituality have been merging and blurring
previously defined boundaries. Hybridize
or Disappear analyses artistic practices where the visual is handled as
matter and brought into a dialogue with sculptural forms. Objects become images
and images become objects in a process that surpasses pure visuality towards a
more expanded engagement with the visual where the body holds a central
position, becoming a depicted object as well as an instrument of interaction.
