(Ongoing) The research of MP has been shared in the form of sculptures at Calcio, London in 2025, presented in the form of a performative reading at Biblioteka (Architectural Association School of Architecture in London) in 2025, and exhibited through a series of new sculptures at Artopia, Milan in 2026. Oscillating between art and architecture, we address trans-individualism, cyclical patterns and soil as disperser of immanence. Body and place are connected through an idea of porosity. MP is a research project, carried out over the past three years, producing a series of works based on the notion of petrification and an exploration of porous, permeable qualities of matter. We work with the intimate intoxication that happens in the meeting between stone worker and stone, when a serpentinic, green marble with asbestos veins is extracted from the quarries of the island of Tinos (Greece). Both the sculptural and the audio visual outcome challenges our idea of scale when confusing the microscopic with the monumental. When asbestos enters the body orally, or through the respiratory system, occupying organs, a clash of temporalities occurs: the fibrous mineral takes its time and can linger in a lung or digestive system for up to 40 years before manifesting itself as harmful to the body. The research interprets this carcinogenic process caused by the stone as a metaphorical petrification, and speaks of human porosity as a way to acknowledge fragility, interconnectedness and inseparability from the world in which we live. The project is text-based, sculptural and geological while the main outcome is a never finite video work, constructed as a collage of sonic and visual field recordings from the island.  The research draws the possibility of translating ancient stories into present time, re-reading myths on stones, underworlds and petrification as a method to sabotage the colonisation and forced penetration of bodies and landscapes. We explore myths on petrification and invisible intoxication, connecting our readings of Mel Y Chen on queer intimacy between their body and the intoxicating mercury penetrating it with Sharhnush Parsipur’s Iranian tale of a woman becoming a milk-drinking tree, and the myth of Medusa’s petrifying gaze. These references imply latent responses from exploited landscapes, materials and beings towards the bodies that capitalise and construct them.
