Experiment, process and output

Overview

Decay investigates degradation not only as a process of loss, but as a productive system capable of generating images, forms, residues and conceptual structures.

The project emerges from the intersection between taphonomy, artistic practice and experimental observation. It approaches decomposition as a dynamic field in which matter changes state, structure becomes unstable and new visual organizations appear.

In this framework, decay is not treated as a terminal condition but as a generative one: a sequence of transformations in which residue, instability, fragmentation and morphological alteration become central to both the scientific and artistic reading of form.

Experimental setting

Comparative degradation experiment developed through controlled conditions, temporal monitoring and material observation.

Material output

The project produces visual and material traces that can be read both as experimental results and as autonomous image forms.

Conceptual note

The original project page describes Decay as a space between taphonomy and art, where degradation, transformation and temporal alteration become active image systems.

The work moves between biological process and poetic structure: decomposition, fragmentation, evaporation, residue and unstable morphology are treated as linked material and semantic events. Decay therefore becomes both an experiment and a language.
