About

Wiggling together, falling apart is an investigation into the contiguities between the human and the more-than-human and how these points of contact can be unacknowledged at the same time they are ubiquitous. What are the different residues that collect on and in these complicated relations?

TAU, weighted with the uku gathered from the banks of the Waikato River at its lowest time. Its placement in the room's center anchors itself to unseen currents in Taamaki—waterlines that trace histories beneath concrete floors, cellars, and pavements. Tau recalls the unseen residues, grounding itself as a presence that both remembers and reclaims.
