Total Loss takes its title from the language of insurance — the moment when damage is deemed beyond repair. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s image of a storm called “progress,” the exhibition reflects on catastrophe as both rupture and inevitability, where cause and consequence collapse into a single suspended image.
There is an intuition that precedes disaster: a thickening of time, a doubling back, a recognition that the event has already begun. Total Loss inhabits this psychological and political terrain, exploring fragility, debris and the accumulating weight of contemporary experience.
