The term hysteresis soberly describes a processual behaviour where the previous history affects the result as much as new changes.

How religious narratives, particularly the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, shape moral and territorial frameworks while exposing the instability of interpretation itself. By adhering to the biblical text yet acknowledging the multiplicity implied in “version,” the piece confronts the impossibility of pure transmission of divine meaning. Its motion-captured performance translates scripture into digital ritual, reflecting religion’s performative repetition rather than belief. The transformation of human movement into clay-rendered 3D data underscores both the futility and faithfulness of human attempts to reproduce the sacred, where visible imperfections become signs of humanity’s flawed mediation of a presumed perfect divine source.

The nine virtual sculptures underlying vitreous resulted from experimental setups by Robert Seidel for generating three-dimensional clusters of fibrous refractions, as well as the gravitational lensing of different volumetric and chromatic densities. Singular elements gravitate towards each other, accumulating in a gigantic sculptural system, where each entity exists with its own visual axis and vanishing point. The impalpable luminous formations create prismatic interactions between the ridges and plateaux of the main colours floating in front of the infinite violet background.

Picture postcards, travel brochures and holiday photos are all this merrily caustic collage needs to portray moods and desires between the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. In spring 1990, the first Interflug plane carrying GDR citizens touched down on Majorca. About the mediterranean colours of the island, the first-person narrator remarks in the voiceover: “We knew them from the postcards sent by our West German relatives. This was the West, this was West-West.” Ostensibly naïve, her recollections nonetheless develop an ironic undertone. However blue the sea shines in the photos, however loud the castanets play, the travel group with their East German money are never more than onlookers in this half-board paradise. Everything seems like an empty promise: the bursting oranges on the trees, the sumptuous breakfast buffet and the giant hotel pools.
