The Landfall - Standpoint Gallery (2023)
Material: wires three monitors, a stone from Fukushima etc.
Building on her previous explorations of machines as sites of vulnerability and care, Maya's recent work investigates skin inflammation caused by radiation, contamination, and other anthropogenic activities. By reshaping the surfaces and structures of the machines she engages with, she seeks to reverse-engineer the imprints of geo-trauma left by human intervention, situating them within speculative futures. Her practice challenges the technoscientific narratives shaped by war and industrial acceleration, offering an alternative framework that de-anthropocentrizes technology and reimagines its materiality beyond human dominance.
Fragmented narratives from indeterminate subjects and the fragments of images that bear resemblance to landscapes, animals and human skin, pose questions concerning post-humanism, post-intimacy, be-longing, pain and queerness in the foreseeable future.
