The title doubt is my support system embodies Chloé Malloggi’s collaboration process with the mediums paper, sculpture and words. As a site-specific artist she was inspired by the support system that is Vishovgrad — branches holding and supporting one another, she states “I hope my work can take care of someone else’s work”.
Leaning into the flexibility of paper and words, she gives her materials space to speak and is informed by her process of daily making, often made up of repetitive gestures as a mantra evocation of words.
Glueing together paper,
adding water to transform into another shape,
action of folding, and unfolding,
the sculptures doubt
the same question again and again
poetry,
as a concept of language.

To be continued starts with paper – a space to draw, paint, print. Molded or assembled it gets bigger and settles in space. Sculpture meets drawing and books pretend to be sculptures. From the same starting point, the white sheet can become almost anything, in a back and forth between gestures, symbols, landscapes… From a language to an other, from an idea to a colour: translation on A4 sheets. Shapes and words are light and modular – on the wall / the corner / the floor – they unfold, and then disappear in pockets
To be continued is a landscape in permanent deconstruction, a drawing in a notebook, a poem to unfold.
