Cosmic Trigger – Respawn presented new sculptural work built from construction-grade formwork board, developed through cutting, layering, screwing, reworking, and stapling as an open, processual system. The pieces resist a fixed final state: components can be taken apart and recombined into new constellations, so meaning emerges less from any single object than from the shifts and relations between them. The exhibition's title borrows a logic from digital game worlds, states that vanish and reappear, and applies it as a working method, treating analog and digital thinking as a continuous exchange rather than opposites.
