Prepositions (Under)

Proluka, Prague
Prepositions (Under) works with the motif of interconnected scales, tracing continuities between microscopic encounters and vast branching constellations of events. The exposed root structure suggests an inner architecture, an underlying logic of connection that traverses both organic life and human-made infrastructures, an inverted perspective unusually surfacing – a permanent permeation of geo-biological layering usually concealed beneath the surface.
As the theory of scales tells us, the roots become more than merely a biological form. They reveal scale not as a framework for measuring the world but rather as a process through which worlds are continuously composed. A root tip probing the soil, the spread of a fungal network, the movement of resources across territories, the circulation of information through technical systems, each unfolds within and through others, collapsing any clear distinction between the intimate and the planetary, unsettling any assumption that the human scale can longer usefully serve as a natural point of orientation.
What emerges is an image of reality as a field of ongoing translation, where things travel across distances, where scales are nested, and where seemingly minor shifts ripple outward in unexpected ways. These exposed roots offer a glimpse into the hidden geographies of exchange. At once resilient and vulnerable, they point to the fragile conditions that allow complex systems to persist: a dense web of relations held together not by permanence but by continual becoming.
