Oxygen, Iron, and Us
Together, we explore rust as a living presence – not merely a sign of decay, but an active process, a movement through time and materiality. Rust is the breath of iron, a visible transformation that connects industry, nature, and the body – an ecological time machine.
Rust is not abandoned or forgotten, but picked up, touched, carried, and examined. Participants feel the weight of the material, hear its resonance, see the insistent presence of its color. A collective action where we do more than observe – we engage with rust as part of the landscape we live in and the structures we create.
The experience exists in the space between the performative, the sensory, and the ecological, asking: How do we relate to materials that change? What does it mean to live in a world where nothing is static? How can we look at rust – not as something dead, but as part of a living cycle?
Through movement, sound, and visual intensity, rust becomes a mirror of our own mutability – a material that connects us to both what we build and what we allow to decay.
