Unyielding Repetition
(Credits: Video animation in collaboration with Felix Seelos)
As part of the exhibition "Gathering Moss on worm-like Grounds" (02.02. - 06.07.2025) Opening: 01.05.2025, 15:30, the artist will be present.
With her video installation Unyielding Repetition, shown for the first time in Germany, artist Alex Besta builds on the themes of the exhibition "Gathering Moss on worm-like Grounds" and adds historical and material aspects. The starting point of the work are digitally reconstructed fragments of stone sculptures whose surfaces have been marked by centuries of erosion. The installation, which was created in Paris, interweaves 3D scans, organic material and an atmospheric sound composition to create a poetic narrative about time, decay and the tension between human design and natural processes. Nature does not appear here as a passive backdrop, but as a form-giving force and the silent author of new images and meanings. Unyielding Repetition invites us to pose new questions about artistic heritage, transience and ecological responsibility.
