Without Context, 2026
Installation, four UV prints on white PVC mounted on stretchers.

Without Context is an installation of four UV prints on white PVC mounted on stretchers, each displaying only one measurement: 23.5 MB, 37.2 KB, 3 GB and 173 qubits. The first three establish an apparently coherent system of digital file sizes, while withholding what they refer to.

The fourth retains the same visual and grammatical form — number plus unit — but breaks the system: a qubit describes quantum information and is not a unit of file size. Nothing in the installation visually marks this rupture. The four elements remain materially equivalent.

By removing the original context, the work forces a new one to emerge from the identical presentation. The viewer is led to read the four values as members of the same system precisely because they have been made to look as though they belong together. The final value exposes the instability of this constructed order: what appeared to be a coherent sequence depended not only on measurement, but on the context produced by its presentation.
