Implantation

This project investigates the boundary between industrial violence and biological vulnerability through the lens of the surgical fusion of machine and body.

The automotive wing—a damaged, rusting fragment of a mechanical exoskeleton—has lost its protective function and devolved into something resembling a skeletal frame.

From its underbelly sprouts a foreign mass: pleated pink textile, mimicking living, defenseless flesh or an internal organ.

A crimson thread serves as the key element of connection. Passed through the metal’s technological perforations, it functions simultaneously as a restraining bandage, a surgical suture, and a network of blood vessels. The hand-stitched, deliberately rough stitching exposes the traumatic nature of this symbiosis: soft fabric deforms under the pressure of the rigid edge, fixing the perpetual conflict between humanity and the technical environment it has created.
