About this artwork
The Body as a Ledger. Episode №[136] / [2013]
This work is a single entry in the ongoing series Figures Collection: The Body as a Ledger, a sculptural-photographic archive that chronicles the involuntary architecture of neurological episodes.
Each piece originates from a specific neurological event. The body, contorted by the attack, becomes both the subject and the document—a living site of evidence. I translate this moment using the stark, procedural… language of forensic photography: neutral light, measured grids, and anonymizing textiles. This methodical transformation is an act of reclaiming. It takes an experience often rendered invisible by medical and social systems and frames it as an undeniable fact, a ledger entry written in flesh and form. This specific work, Episode №[136] / [2013], records an attack that occurred in [2013]. It stands as a material witness to that moment, cataloging its presence against erasure.

Conceptual Artist | Creator of the Transaction Art Universe
My practice interrogates the fragile architectures of identity, memory, and value in a hyper-surveilled world. At its core lies the Transaction Art Universe (2012–Present)—an evolving system where art emerges from bureaucratic seams, digital fractures, and anonymized collective acts.
Key Pillars:
▸ Anonymity as Resistance
3,214+ collaborators surrender authorship under binding NDAs, creating a hive of contested narratives.
▸ The Aesthetics of Failure
Glitches, erased data, and legal voids are not metaphors—they are the medium.
▸ Art as Legal Fiction
Each piece exists as both artifact and contract, challenging ownership’s boundaries.
For Collectors:
Acquiring a Transaction Art work means investing in a living system. Whether a notarized glitch-print, performance relic, or cryptographic document, you become custodian of an ongoing experiment where art and transaction collapse into one.
