Neither Nor-Either Or
’Neither Nor, Either Or’
Existing in an accelerated in-between, Genti Korini’s series of ceramics and sculptures, speak to the unresolvable tension of life as impossibly extended, embodied at its limits, strung out on the materiality of the surface, which takes shape in augmented forms — hybrids of traditional craft and synthetic drip.
The artisanal materiality of the traditional ceramics is forced to go through a transformation of their surface by the digital synthetic drips, used in motorbike and car culture to customize their vehicles.
The struggle to claim autonomy, the tension between the materiality and its surface, of reality and its appearances, somehow reflects the state of being in a post-communist society, which tries to move fast in its “catch-up” modernity and its accelerated capitalism.
