The natural eroticism of the archive’s aesthetics lie in its sorting and sectioning. The reader can anticipate more material based off of the evidence of its being in the layer beforehand. It paces consumption. The characters in Metamour and the artist’s other recent works act as these subdivided elements of the archived self, energetically embodied and capable of attraction, love, hesitation, rejection, etc.
Do you search for yourself in others when you look for love? Are you in love with yourself? You have so much in common... Or are you just lonely? What are the compartmentalised selves when embodied? A pantheon of twin caricatures...
In its loneliness, humanity attempts to play with its different parts falling in and out of love, cheating, having children, killing, saving, etc. Mythology acts as the erotic breakdown of human desire. Characters evolve through long-awaited or surprising shifts in morals depending on experience or trauma. The lancer, despite every effort,
will always be The Struggler, and bound to its strict inferiority to the main character.
In the mathematical world of dynamical systems, bifurcations mark fixed points in discrete time of stability or instability resulting in stable or unstable closed curves, respectively affecting the nature of the system. Does the curve continue deeper? Similar or different to its parent? Does the curve terminate? Is it synchronised with its siblings? Or does it rebel? The consistency of these entities come together creating the psychedelic rhythm, snares, and siren’s vocals that echo between the dim lights of Malaimare’s Metamour.
