Concrete Cast

Decoder is an associative work that deals with the decoding and categorizing of our environment, but in the other direction also with the programming and construction of our world. The installation generates itself out of itself, so to speak; it is unclear what is generated and what is already there. The starting point of the installation is a piece of driftwood cast in concrete. What is it that defines this object now, its nature-related surface or its artificial interior?
(The concrete cast of the piece of wood was originally created as an independent work entitled Ryan Frost).
