The exhibition ›Mutation Methods‹ investigates objects as constructors of reality, as points of departure for spatial transformation and architectural design. It creates space for unorthodox design methods in which everyday objects are read as carriers and generators of realities, deconstructed, and artistically-architecturally mutated.
Everyday Objects and the Archaeology of Realities: At the center is the idea that objects are not neutral, but contain and enable meaning, history, and social realities. The works are conceived both as a methodological proposal and as a spatial argument – contributing to the discussion of how objects and architecture actively create our realities and lived worlds.
