Morfología inestable is an installation composed of pieces suspended from the ceiling, formed by organic ceramic clusters — earth — wrapped in textile stockings — plastic — that contain and make them flexible; through these forms, a video is projected that distorts subtly as it falls upon them.

The work is built from the encounter between materials with opposing behaviors and incompatible temporalities. The relationship between earth and plastic operates as a system of asymmetric forces held in constant friction. They tension, contain, and alter one another, revealing forms of dependency and support that also run through our relationship with the environment.

When the ceramic enters into contact with the artificial membrane (stocking), a constant tension is generated; the rigid material tears, weighs down, and pushes the limits of the flexible support, which yields and holds the whole in a state of permanent fragility. Some of the ceramic forms appear freed from textile confinement; others incorporate synthetic hair, functioning as bodily remains.

The projected video is a videoperformance titled Apéndice. In it, I use the ceramic-textile pieces as bodily extensions that alter the way I move and relate to my surroundings. The weight, resistance, and instability they introduce modify my gestures.

During the transit, bodies leave traces in the sand: marks of contact that evidence a conditioned displacement. The sand receives, resists, and returns, registering an insistent and uncomfortable relationship. The body does not operate as a closed entity, but adjusts according to what it carries and the territory it crosses. Apéndice functions as the activation of the same material conditions that sustain the installation. The tension and unstable equilibrium that structure the suspended pieces also run through the bodies in motion.
