Upon Contact (2026)

Upon Contact explores how we relate to the structures that form part of the world we inhabit.

The work brings together two distinct territories —body and structure— at a single point of contact. It is precisely at this encounter that matter, colour and representation itself begin to transform.

The work thus shifts a recurring question within Topographies: it is no longer only about how we find our place within the structures we inhabit, but what happens when we interact with them.

What happens when inhabitant and habitat come into contact?
