Anthofluid

Fueled by electric currents, Anthofluid creates pigmental paths in a fluid anthocyanin solution, producing volatile stains that dissolve into watery echoes as they emerge. Here, water acts as an unstable archive, continuously reabsorbing and transforming each trace. The process reflects the flexibility of matter and the fluid dynamics of material life, as explored in, among others, hydrofeminist discourse.

Electric impulses on a uniform grid create colored stains that stretch, bleed or dissolve in the medium. Through the heat of the reaction the pigments are provoked into movement. They do not settle into stable forms but keep shifting, fading, re-emerging. The marks are caught in the act of disappearing, leaving watery echoes behind in a self-consuming archive.

Hinting at Astrida Neimanis, who frames water as a force that connects all bodies - metaphorically and materially - through space and time. Hydrofeminism aims to dissolve the ideas of boundaries between the self and the environment, human and non-human, seeing bodies (both biological and non-biological) as porous and always in exchange with the world around them.

Anthofluid shows a liquid painting where the matter itself is alive. It is not just a passive substrate but an active participant in the creation of volatile images. It's a rejection of solid, autonomous forms — embracing becoming over being.
