| Discursive Structures of Material Memory |

The work reflects on the fragility of memory and the mechanisms of control that shape it, articulating the relationship between material memory and the institutionalized body. Fragmented sculptures evoke ruins of incomplete narratives and the logic of the archive—always partial and selective.

An iron structure supports both the fragments and a surveillance system, a metaphor for the production of disciplined bodies. The use of analog cameras introduces a temporal fold in which the institutional gaze is revealed and questioned. The installation creates a liminal space between preservation and control, fragment and totality, where memory and body come into tension.
