Before Consciousness

The grid was always there.
We wove it, drew it, built it.

Crossing lines, rhythms.
Repeated until the beginning disappears.

It is not just a pattern.
It is a structure we cannot read.

The form of intersection began to act on its own.
Before it was named.
Before we checked whether it was really ours.

Something begins to show through —
not as an image, but as an attempt at thought.

Before consciousness.

Images from My Hypothesis Laboratory

I am not a scientist.
But I am fascinated by images born in laboratories and telescopes.
I transform their traces, combining them into new systems.

I record each stage – moments that could be endings,
but become mere stops in a further experiment.

Each object poses a question –
sometimes absurd, sometimes premature, sometimes unanswered.

It resembles laboratory work.
In the end, I return to the beginning.
From the recorded phases I reconstruct the creative process as an animation –
a moving record of transformations that reveals the internal dynamics of each object.

My hypothesis laboratory is a continuous experiment.
I ask myself:
Can I inspire a scientist?

Does the interior exist — or is it created through the attempt to see it?

Does the trace lead to the point — or reveal it?

Is the blackness of a cast shadow darker than the darkness of the cosmos?

Local Convergence

Five organisms.
The same matrix.

This shape does not occur just once —
it reveals itself.
Each time, a little differently.

Rooster, cat, dog, horse, and human.
Do not seek meaning in the species.
This is not a zoological catalogue.
It is a trace of an order that returns —
not to repeat itself,
but to avoid disappearing.

The grids are different.
So are their circumstances.
Sometimes they align only for a moment.

If something here looks familiar,
maybe you came from the same cookie cutter.
The universal one.
But what does it mean?

Models

The series emerged as a set of attempts with a single figure — treated as a model of space.

The figure appears within a layered structure of matter and begins to enter into tension with it.

It suggests volume, yet cannot be clearly read as a solid.
It is unclear from where it is seen. It is unclear whether it is emerging or collapsing.

It is not placed in space — it attempts to produce it.

Does the figure disrupt matter, or does matter disrupt the figure?
