€362 (including VAT)
This artwork forms part of Alex Valentina's exhibition ‘Baroque Biology’, which explores the idea that all living beings are made of the same life material, constantly shifting forms and states of existence. Life is a continuous process of transformation, recycling, and becoming—where nothing is entirely new, and everything comes from something else.
Every organism is a blend of many species and life forms, alive and long gone. Rather than being fixed entities, life forms are better understood as ever-changing processes. Our existence is shaped by overlapping histories and ongoing cycles of decay and renewal.
This messy, creative nature of biology mirrors aesthetics—chaotic, evolving, and resistant to control. Life’s design is more baroque than functional, sitting between perfection and contamination.
