Entropy seems to be an accepted norm in the world. Confronted with
entropy, human action, research, and order are able to offer less
and less resistance. But instead of lamenting the impossibility of
finishing this project, Lea Grebe's art proposes a new perspective
through the interface of science and technology. Over the years,
she has built up an archive to document dead insects-where they
were found, how they were found, and what state they were in when
discovered. The insects have been cast in bronze in an elaborate
process. By being transformed into durable material, it seems as if
the creatures have undergone a final metamorphosis, in which they
take on an ultimate, artificially maintained appearance. The
emphasis on the individual and what is individual is evidence of
the search for a new, ecological, empathetic way of thinking that
honours the independent and inimitable.
