Luca Dayanc

BA in Art and Psychology

Considering waste materials as well as the rhythms of breathlessness (a place of excess breathing, between life/death) as starting points, Luca and Katrina’s performances and sculpture set up a continuous arrhythmia (movement) of expansion/contraction from central (systems-of communication & place making) to periphery and back, to question notions of functionality. Collaborative production is considered contamination, not cure, where neurodiverse brains/bodies infect the other. Being pushed towards other/object and back becomes homeostatic feedback to maintaining survival of their neurodiverse brains. Recent sculptural works explore ornamentation and erotisisation in architecture as way to further push ideas of excess and functionality.
