Ivana Franke - Entanglement is a Fragile State








	Entanglement is a Fragile State


Entanglement is a Fragile State, installation view Pittlerwerke Leipzig, 2023 © Alexander Schippel PHOTOS		The linear spatial installation, made of translucent material resembling a spider web, occasionally catches the diffuse light from the windows, sometimes remaining invisible. It superimposes a complex geometric drawing (derived from a projection graph visualizing a six-dimensional cube) over the building’s geometry. 6-dimensional cube-graph structure is multiplied three times. These multiplications are superimposed. The elaborate system for constructing the net following this superimposition has been developed. While the artwork delineates space in a way, it points to the fact that the space as such cannot be divided. We cannot divide space, space interpenetrates everywhere. Space is not something which we can own, we cannot grasp it, we cannot see it. This is the environment we are in and unquestionably share; we shift our consciousness to the quality of the air we breathe and do not focus on the rules and controls of imaginary boundaries and limits. … a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries.
