Press Release
_46.3532182, 15.1231226_ is a fictional research project focusing on the accumulation of limescale — a compound of calcite, magnesite, and other minerals. The installation consists of two glass heaters and containers that supply them with water and mineral solution. The heaters, as sites where the non-precious “rock” is generated, are open to human view and thus to speculative impulses that seek some form of gain or yield in the material – either by maximising its value or its quantity/size. The apparent scientific character of the installation is thus compromised from the outset as the chemical process is opened to esoteric and mechanical contamination. Does the “foreign element” infiltrate the system through the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water? When heating leads to the formation of the precipitate? Or is the foreign element the gaze itself? Perhaps the intention inscribed through unusual mahogany pedestals and their carved motifs?
