Beta, Alpha, Sigma

ARTIST STATEMENT

Sigma, Alpha, Beta is an installation/altar in which structure, hierarchy, and violence are articulated. The work unfolds as a temporal scene, traversed by invisible, activated forces, where each element appears to know its place.

At the center, the Sigma rises upon a networked form, both futuristic and traditional. It reigns. Its posture suggests silent control; it is the structure, embodying the flows and messages of indoctrination that it distributes across the landscape. Chains emerge from the structure, restraining the Alphas, ready to attack. Their presence promises continuity, the perpetuation of dynamics. They initiate nothing. They are instruments of violence.On the ground, the Betas form a heterogeneous group, not yet standardized. They feed on poison, as if it were a necessary passage toward transformation.

What wounds is absorbed; what destroys becomes a driving force. An internalized, ingested violence, hinting at a convergence toward a so-called ideal form. A digital soundscape, composed after the installation, extends the visual space into the sonic realm. Developed by absorbing the atmosphere, rhythms, and elements of the structure, it resonates like messages circulating and propagating through networks.

On the walls, familiar architectures punctuate the space. It is suggested that a poison infiltrates from the central structures into local architectures. The poison becomes normalized, almost imperceptible. Near the ground, a victimized sun, unrecognizable. Its light no longer exists; it is absorbed. Once a figure of distant infinity, of infinite sacredness, it is ultimately digested by the embodiment of a belief centered on the individual’s ascent. The installation proposes a contemporary mythology, in which figures, rituals, and remnants replace ancient gods with toxic, hierarchical beliefs that are accepted and normalized.
