Mimikry

Mimicry refers to the strategy of imitation – the act of adapting to a foreign form in order to deceive, survive or become invisible. In this series of works, mimicry becomes an aesthetic method: the conscious imitation of organic structures that no longer originate from nature, but merely refer to it. On the surface, tiny dots condense and dissolve into an image. Wood, water and stone appear as structure, as a grid, as visual information. The surface behaves like a screen: it shows without being. It reminds without containing.

The grid of the bitmap screen print is readable as pixels and refers to the image logic of digital displays, smartphones, interfaces and generative systems. The organic form is replaced by a technical system, by dots that suggest proximity and create distance. Nature no longer serves as material, but as reference. What once grew is now calculated. Mimicry becomes surface, not camouflage – a simulation of a connection that has long since been replaced.
