Plunge

UV print on aluminium platte, 100 x 100cm, 2025

Plunge stages a collision between plant memory and digital velocity, while functioning as a material trace of the precise moment when plant-extracted molecules traverse the human nervous system and provoke a subtle realignment of perception. Upon the cold, conductive surface of an aluminum plate—a medium evoking both photographic emulsion and electronic circuits—the image of a plant environment is stretched until it becomes a field of radial streaks. This visual manifestation represents a "threshold state" in which spatial order is rewritten from the perspective of another axis—an axis belonging less to the human eye than to photosynthetic time, data flows, or neural discharge. Within this field, the brain is no longer viewed as an autonomous center of consciousness, but as a "contact zone" where plant chemistry and technical imagery condense into patterns of latent sensation.
