Matisto, Mago New Age, 2024, costume jewelry, various objects on corduroy fabric, wooden frame, 30 × 45 cm
Following the vanishing traces of these tiny objects, among endless store aisles, blankets spread over concrete, and antique markets, now removed from beneath their green sky, Matisto begins to assemble his own collection. Like an ancient forager, he stoops amid the noise to pick up a glimmer of light.

Ji-Min Park, “I was walking through the scorching streets of Porto and saw us engraved on the cracked walls. We were holding hands and you were smiling, I was crying. Or maybe it was the other way around, our love story that never was. My eyes sting. I don’t know if it’s sweat running down my face or tears flowing over our faded story”, 2025, printed fabric, Hanji paper, latex, sewing thread, 160 × 140 cm
