Crumple

Certain things, even if small and light, can over time accumulate until they become overwhelming. Pain, fatigue, and thoughts are endured and set aside, yet at a certain point they fill everything, invade the space, and engulf even what once seemed solid and unshakable. A simple gesture, always the same, repeated countless times. A repetition that cannot be stopped, that grows autonomously, transforming the ephemeral into something unstoppable until no space remains, until nothing is left but the exhaustion of matter and gesture.

The installation amplifies this condition: the video is confined within a small smartphone suspended on the wall, while the sound of crumpled paper expands throughout the space, resonating everywhere and becoming impossible to ignore. The contrast between the intimate scale of the image and the sonic invasion makes the accumulation even more tangible, turning repetition into a physical, almost suffocating experience.
