Vibeke Mascini presents a new installation in Hammer Projects.
The installation intermingles electrical cables and aerial root systems through the electroforming of plants including ceiba trees and orchids. Electroforming is a meticulous practice in which a thin layer of copper is grown to cover other materials, rendering otherwise nonelectrical subjects into carriers of electricity.
Mascini’s sculptures, installations, video, and text explore energy, technology, nature, and interconnectedness.
Hammer Projects: Vibeke Mascini is organized by Pablo José Ramírez, curator, with Jennifer Buonocore-Nedrelow, curatorial assistant.
