Incomprehensible are objects in their cunning,
unreachable in the rage of the alive
invulnerable in continuous drifting
you cannot catch up with them
you cannot grab them
immovable in their presence.
— Tomaž Šalamun
Mobile Energy centres on the fleeting, the unstable, and the nomadic, placing emphasis on immediacy and presence. It foregrounds works that—whether through their form or content—are in motion: animated by light, by the materiality of the analogue film strip, by fungi or plants acting as co-creators, by various modes of text production—written, overwritten, drawn, layered, discarded—or through the artists’ own voices and bodies performing live and engaging with questions of self-determination, gender, and illness. Reflecting on processes of transformation and interdependence, Mobile Energy embraces drifts of thought, (spiritual) movements, subtle gravitations and magnetic attractions.
The work of a younger generation is placed here in conversation with historical positions from the 1970s—most notably those of Abramović/Ulay and OHO Group—who embraced change as a guiding principle of life, discarding artistic conventions in favour of collectively, endurance, and personal transformation; in OHO’s case, this transformation was understood as a collective one.
