KARLINA MEŽECKA
Displayed alongside Raudive’s notebook, Karlīna Mežecka’s work continues her investigation into the tensions between ceramics and blown glass, developed during her studies at the Royal College of Art. By combining the density of clay with the translucency of glass, she produces fluid, bodily forms that hover between the organic and the alien.
These ambiguous shapes suggest fragments of flesh or internal matter without resolving into recognizable anatomy, remaining suspended in a transitional state between material presence and estrangement.This oscillation is embedded in the work’s material logic, where opacity, viscosity, and surface operate as carriers of meaning. Mežecka’s practice resonates with the interpretive instability of Konstantin Raudive’s recordings, which blur distinctions between signal and projection, human and other. Here, matter itself becomes a medium of translation, suggesting that what appears foreign may lie just beyond the limits of perception.
Karlīna Mežecka (b. 1995) is Latvian artist currently living and working in London, United Kingdom.
