Springs Eternal: Alexa Horochowski

The three works by Alexa Horochowski — a sculpture, a photograph, and a projected video with sound – included in Springs Eternal come from a larger body of work, Club Disminución, a large-scale installation of photographs, sculptures, manipulated found objects, and projected video first installed at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, MN.  Inspired by the artist’s stay at an artist’s residency in Coliumo, Chile, Club Disminución immersed the viewer in a watery, mysterious environment dominated by barnacles, kelp beds, and castaway objects, all washed by constantly shifting waters. With this work, Horochowski imagines what will remain in this world once the humans are gone: the incessant waves, the tangled coils of kelp, the slowly fading remains of civilization.
