C+Cu: Narratives of Energy Sway
2013
Coal briquettes, copper wire, LED
25 x 200 cm, variable height
Joined together into a graft that comes from different seams or sub-contexts, but paradoxically seized as product of massive consumption, away from its original soil, C+Cu: Narratives of Energy Sway aims to understand the physical properties of copper and coal, two minerals which are objects of landscape subversion.
Originally conceived for the exhibition To Seize Matter And Leave a Landscape (2013, West Germany, Berlin), this installation was recomposed for Kunst vor Orten – Les Prochaines (2014, Berlin), and then reproduced for the group exhibition Takeover (2022, Gropius-Bau, Berlin), after APT Collection confiscated this piece indefinitely.
