Oliver Laric debuts his latest video work in the central gallery of his exhibition Timelapse at S.M.A.K., Ghent. The work visualizes typically imperceptible transformations of organic matter using digitally sculpted frames to show the growth, decay, and disintegration over time. It emphasizes the fact that all organic matter is in a state of constant flux even if subtle changes are invisible to us in the short-term. The use of time-lapse, common in nature documentaries, engenders the video with a staccato rhythm that is emphasized by Ville Haimala's original soundtrack. In two adjoining galleries he exhibits two versions each of three sculptures that depict both human-animal and inter-animal relationships. Based on 3D scans made from existing artworks found in museum collections around Europe, Laric's thin-shelled, 3D-printed multi-part sculptures are assembled using various combinations of contemporary materials. They highlight the power dynamics of each of the sculpted couples' relationships, their perceived dependence, dominance, and affection.
