Beyond Control.? is an ongoing series that explores the transition from loss of control to recomposition. Each piece follows a four-step protocol: crumpling, tracing, unfolding, and binding. The paper, damaged and then unfolded, becomes a map and narrative material. The lines follow the folds, gather the fragments, and redraw a path. A process of listening and transformation, between chaos and choice.
Beyond Control.? is an attempt to unlearn, to lose one's footing, and then to reinvent a new path. With light as a guide to sublimate accidents, and a line as an act of reappropriation.
Beyond Control.? is a work that continues to evolve, a collection of pieces that document a process as much as an inner state. It is a work born from a need for reorientation, initiated at a pivotal moment in my life.
It all begins with an act of crumpling: a gesture of deliberate loss of control. On this uneven surface, I inscribe a circle—a symbol of returning to oneself, of wholeness, of security. Then I unfold it. This moment of fragmentation interests me: it marks the transition, the opening, the loss of continuity.
From there, I draw lines. I join the fragments by following the contours of the crumpled paper. I work with the imperfections. I construct a new route, made of detours and adjustments, which follows not an imposed rule, but a topography already there, born from the initial abandonment that created these contours.
This work unfolds in visible stages: the folding, the drawing, the unfolding, the recomposition. Each phase is documented and deliberately plays with chronology, as if to better bring back what seemed lost. Perhaps this is what I am recounting: the illusion of control, the beauty of chaos, the desire to rewrite a journey, a map, a narrative.
