Information

Metamonument is conceived as a "monument of the present" dedicated to the metacrisis—that entanglement of ecological, economic, and political crises that defines our era. The installation questions what a monument can be today: no longer a permanent block, but a shifting apparatus that circulates images, narratives, and perspectives. Informed by a collaboratively developed manifesto, it highlights the concentration of wealth and data in the hands of a minority, and proposes remixing, sharing, and reappropriation as potential responses to the proprietary logic of digital capitalism.

The work unfolds as a constellation of images and objects: transparent prints on light boxes, 3D-printed volumes and bas-reliefs, textiles, vinyl cutouts, and animations on screens controlled by microcontrollers. Derived from AI-generated images that have been reworked, these elements circulate between fragile materiality and online proliferation, sketching a landscape of artifacts that are simultaneously precarious, reproducible, and connected.
