In Elaine Cameron-Weir’s sculptural and installation works the combined use of natural and artificial elements has the capacity to create a dynamic of contrasts and correspondences between tactile, sensorial, metaphorical and functional qualities. If the re-use of found objects taken from the scientific or military fields aims to create an experimental dimension full of references to science fiction, the presence of natural materials and entities (including heat sources, leather, plants, sand, shells) alludes to alchemical processes of mutation and regeneration, but also to the passage between raw material and mechanical dimension, composite artifice and system. Ancestral and contemporary, antiquity and future, rituality and mechanism collide, generating unprecedented reactions. In the interweaving of these polarities, the artist’s works create a disturbing and alien dimension, in a precarious balance between different drives. Through their long titles, allusions to a still undefined narrative, the two works on display in Belgrade generate complex visual stimuli that overlap with their multifaceted material identity.
