A Held Point explores limitation as both a generative force and a site of exhaustion. Boundaries—whether physical, material, or structural—are rarely fixed; they shift, break, and reform. The installation responds directly to the constraints of the gallery space, redefining it through both form and placement. By disrupting conventional ways of navigating the space, the works challenge how the body moves, enters, and perceives its surroundings.
The exhibition consists of aluminium sculptures and a video, each engaging with instability and resistance in different ways. The sculptures take on organic, fragmented forms, their fluidity at odds with the cold, industrial nature of aluminium. They push against the confines of the space, installed in ways that contort, hang, or extend beyond expected boundaries. Traces of the casting process—leaks, fractures, and hammer marks—are left visible, emphasizing both resilience and vulnerability. These remnants are not just passive traces but evidence of struggle and adaptation.
The video, installed on the gallery’s low ceiling, shows a demolition vehicle tearing down a building—an image of destruction that also suggests renewal. The exhibition reflects on this tension, showing how imposed limits can sometimes drive transformation but, at other times, simply wear down those within them. By placing pressure on space, material, and the viewer’s movement, the works question what it means to persist, reshape, and navigate the conditions imposed upon us.
