In her first UK solo exhibition Aude Pariset presents a new body of work that productively contrasts the clinical representation of science, conservation, and heritage alongside the natural ferocity of decomposing organic matter. Pariset’s new project questions various notions of sustainability whether ecological, cultural or emotional. The various motivations for what should be preserved or discarded are in an underlying conflict between collective and individual interests, as the preservation of data and critical waste management is becoming an increasing concern.

In addition to the formal and material experiments with new sculpture and photographic image distribution, Pariset incorporates organic properties, such as live mealworms together with the artist’s home produced bio-plastic. Fragments of photographic image depict a fantasised passing of traditions through generations of privilege. Luxury images of equestrian sports and wealthy leisure pursuits are repurposed, as are furniture ready-mades into new sculpture where an exchange between consumer image, domestic object and organic matter test the ubiquitous conventions of tradition against the unwieldy nature of the ageing process. As the work slowly degrades and changes over time, age acts as counter-productive labour and becomes a new potential agent for value.
