art practice:
Thing Expressionism of Neglected Objects

Paloma works with the collecting of specific and neglected objects. this can be physical, linguistic or cyber/digital material. These unwanted objects, ignored by the anthropocentric world, are full of different potentialities, also known as baselines. The notes are there we only have to arrange them with a rhythm and silences.

Her work tries to find (while playing) a new language, bass-line and arrangement within these objects. She does this with the help of “Thing-Expressionism”, a DIY theory around interaction research with and around objects.

The two objects

The Dead Plants: creating an active dialogue that transforms definitions within the human-plant relationship with material interaction.

Eggs: a Soundcloud rapper called “Eggnostic Shellshock” the embodiment of a common egg and its Eggsistential dread.
