Correspondence is a sculpture series using industrial sugar processed towards the stage of Hard Crack – a transition state in the caramelization process of sugar where the solution reaches its lowest point in the concentration of water, exactly 0,01 percent. It is the moment when sugar can be both – highly dangerous and extremely beautiful – an entropic existence, fugitive and fading, which tells us energy is more easily lost than contained. Correspondence offspring a world of indeterminate possibilities concertinaed by incomprehensible desires. In this space of unveiling, palpable emotions and experiences, the objects cease to exist. Forever shifting, sliding, slipping. Actions that have no end, processes of no return, leaving behind a porous and empty body. Space can be approached, but time is far away.
The work was included in the Future Material Bank of the Jan van Eyck Academy in 2022.
