Nadir

2023

Duo exhibition with Timo Vaittinen at Gallery Saltobodan in Loviisa, Finland

“His vision crawled with ghost hieroglyphs, translucent lines of symbols arranging themselves against the neutral backdrop of the bunker wall. He looked at the backs of his hands, saw faint neon molecules crawling beneath the skin, ordered by the unknowable code. He raised his right hand and moved it experimentally. It left a faint, fading trail of strobed afterimages.”

-William Gibson, Neuromancer
