The installation HYDRABABY III transforms the archive and exhibition space of DOCK into a performative cosmos of light and sculpture. At its center is the freshwater polyp Hydra—renowned for its regenerative and reproductive capacities. Drawing on the biological characteristics of this organism, the installation engages with processes of transformation and growth, translated into sculptural and medial forms.
