*Reliquary (lat. reliquarium, from lat. reliquiae – remains, ashes, heritage)

The city is the largest assemblage known to us: a space where human and non-human, organic and synthetic, living and spectral coexist beyond hierarchy, each object carrying its own material memory.  

In the cultural stratum, these items form a cross-section of an ecosystem revealing mutual co-evolution and urban intra-action.

A future archaeologist would uncover not a human message but a record of co-evolution, an ecosystem in cross-section where authorship dissolves between humans, the city, chance, and matter itself.

This series dismantles old hierarchies to produce concrete models of coexistence an instruction manual for reassembling the world from its ruins.

Establishing kinship between unrelated objects, this project is an ecological act: creating a shared future and habitat for entities excluded from former ecosystems.

Implementation of the project:

The fundamental basis for the objects consists of materials found within the public spaces of the city of Bonn.

Following the finalization of the core compositional configurations and the formation of visual-conceptual narratives, the physical objects are transitioned into digital animated sculptures via the technology of photogrammetry.

These sculptures are then layered with reformatted sound compositions, which are compiled from the city’s public spaces as well as recorded via radio waves within the territory of Bonn.

Project initiated since: 2020

Current status: Ongoing, currently comprising over 100 objects.
