The four sculptures that make up the installation address objects (human, infrastructural, industrial and natural), their latent potentials and the spatial field in which they exist in order to test alternatives to their familiar forms of interaction.
To do this, the artist offers a specific set of tools and perspectives that allow us to observe, represent and analyse our constructed environment and the structures humans have designed or occupied over time. Her systems of scaffolding and phenolic plywood infiltrate architecture and infrastructural forms to reveal the layers of techno-textures, information, history and relationships that make up their quasi-industrial, quasi-natural bodies.
By displaying the dismantled innards of our constructions and recomposing them in new, unexpected spatial formulations, "Hope the Doors Collapse" insists on the possibility of effecting changes to our constructed environment and so also to the webs of relations and interactions that shape the world.
