Enacting Agential Cuts - Notes on the Untitled 1-3 (2014)

The exposition is a visual-textual essay in which I explore Karen Barad’s agential realism in conversation with my installation “”Untitled 1-3” consisting of three interactive artifacts: knitted dress-like objects, responding to touch. An installation is understood here as an ongoing process of materialization which assumes different instantiations over time. I will approach these in dialogue with Barad’s concept of the “agential cut”, inquiring into three “cuts” in which the installation is enacted in three different configurations.
