Patterns of Security explores the visible and invisible architectures of limitation — the ways in which spaces, bodies, and relationships are organized, protected, and confined.
The installation unfolds across three video channels, weaving image and sound into a shifting constellation. Through repetition, rhythm, and interruption, new meanings emerge: fences become patterns, patterns become systems, and systems begin to tremble.
Starting from the fence — a familiar yet charged object — the work opens a reflection on the boundaries between property and protection, nature and culture, safety and exclusion. Its rhizomatic structure resists linear storytelling, instead allowing multiple perspectives to coexist, to interfere, to reconfigure each other.
Patterns of Security invites viewers to sense how control is inscribed into everyday environments, and to imagine what forms of openness might still be possible.
