loxodrome

loxodrome traces a continuous movement toward disappearance. A revolving mechanism inscribes its own duration across the surface of a white vinyl record, gradually consuming the graphite point responsible for its own mark making. Recording and erasure become inseparable operations, where repetition no longer preserves information but exhausts the conditions necessary for its transmission. The work exists within a slow collapse between inscription, memory, and material attrition, where continuity can only be sustained through progressive loss.
