_{SIMON GORITSCHNIG
Excavations from Unknown Origins

Bildraum 07, Vienna 2024

Driven by his interest in biology, archaeology and science fiction, Simon Goritschnig delves into the possibilities of alien worlds. With recourse to isomorphism - the mathematical principle of congruence, of similarity in the most unexpected regions of the cosmos - Excavations from Unknown Origins links evolutionary theory with speculations about unknown life forms.

Goritschnig’s objects, created using 3d-printing, resemble fossils, whereby inorganic materiality meets organic forms. In addition, the artist places graphite frottages and ink drawings alongside computer-aided methods and their post-apocalyptic flair. Simon Goritschnig discusses the effects of human activity on ecosystems of all kinds and spins a web of thoughts on space colonisation. The artist is driven by the essential question of the value of life that eludes our imagination.
