Mechanical Archangel series

Fabio Weik’s project stages a collision between a machine of death and the fragile persistence of nature. The structure recalls the outline of kamikaze drones deployed in the current war between Russia and Ukraine, devices programmed to erase life from a distance, their attacks circulating endlessly through social media feeds. These images of vertical descents, of targets consumed by a remote eye, constitute a new grammar of war, a vision in which sight itself becomes execution.
