Wires

Wires are not merely everyday objects; they function as visual and material signs of our dependence on technology. These items are omnipresent — in a bag, in an apartment, on a desk — and become a tangible trace of digital culture. They contain a fundamental ambivalence: electricity is ubiquitous and necessary, yet potentially lethal. The wires are reduced to pure line and material texture, becoming a metaphor for tension and the conductivity of energy. 

The work emerged from a personal fear. To confront it, I deliberately extract wires from their habitual context and manipulate them — twisting, binding, and submerging them in water. These actions operate as a performative gesture aimed at transforming fear into an experience of control and understanding. Through tactile interaction and a choreography of the hands, the body becomes a “conductor, ” and the wires become the object of artistic reflection. The photographic series functions both as a document of this interaction and as an autonomous installation: a sequence of still lifes, staged scenes, and abstractions. 

Wires permeate the city and open space; seen against the sky, their intersections form a “cage” — a visual metaphor of confinement that intensifies fear and the urge to break free and reclaim autonomy. 

The project is accompanied by a performance set to the sounds of electric current. A soundscape composed of electrical hums and discharges heightens the sensation of tension and renders invisible energy palpable. Through visual and performative practices I aim not only to question the boundary between connection and constraint but also to transform initial fear into an empirical experience that offers a new reading of the nature of electricity and our relationship with the technological environment.
