Our presentation at this year’s edition of other circle brings together practices that begin with existing forms – fragments of the body, personal marks, and found objects – and transform them through processes of repetition, displacement, and material change. Across sculpture, painting, and appropriation, familiar points of reference become unstable: bodies shift into abstraction, signatures lose their fixed authorship, and objects take on new social and symbolic meanings. Rather than presenting identity, form, or value as fixed, the works explore how they are continuously shaped through contact, memory, and context.
Together, the works propose identity and meaning not as fixed conditions but as things continually produced through contact, memory, force, and change.
