Plateaus after Plateaus
Ensemble archive — sonic, tactile video installation

(2013–2020)

Steel cable matrix, video, and sound

Plateaus after Plateaus traces the resonance of Plateaus, returning to its filaments and to the moment in which the plateau rises.

The work is rooted in the genesis of Plateaus (2013–2020). The steel-cable matrix presented here, hand-woven by the artist, forms the initial structure from which later configurations evolved. The accompanying video belongs to a limited edition (1/3 + A.S.) and presents a traversal of the work through a travelling trolley camera.

The camera moves through the matrix as one inhabits a landscape.

From this material emerges a virtual space — an echo of cities remembered and imagined, of places shaped by memory, desire, and lived experience. These are not fixed geographies, but emotional territories: spaces we construct. The installation activates a tactile and sonic memory of the urban, where architecture becomes vibration and movement becomes listening.

Between 2019 and 2020, Plateaus expanded into a further work through the creation of a new matrix, also woven by the artist. This later installation, larger in scale and incorporating subtle motorized movement, extends the spatio-temporal investigation into a cyborg landscape. Plateaus after Plateausremains anchored in the original matrix, holding its formative state as an ensemble archive.

It functions not as a document, but as a living constellation in which matter, sound, and image remain in circulation. It reflects on ways of inhabiting the world — on coexistence, continuity, and the fragile persistence of life on this planet, suspended within the larger cosmos.
