ctu, 2014 - 2015

ctu   is a work complex consisting of three sub-complexes; ctu_isbtm,  ctu_ctr,  and ctu_cr.  ctu_isbtm  explores the mythologies surrounding the Milky Way, focusing on one of the longest-observed objects in human history. The work examines how knowledge is produced through multiple glass collections and a scientific paper that contextualizes them. The paper is rewritten for each exhibition, and after ten exhibitions, all versions are compiled into a book.  ctu_ctr   is a series of images created using both scientific imaging technologies and artistic production techniques, it examines the scientific gaze.  ctu_cr   consists of aluminum sculptures and photographs that analyze the role of mirrors in science.
