Energy is never stable but a passage from one state to another. It arises in transitions, circulating across practices, materials, and perceptions. Thermogenesis names this
metabolism of exchange: each gesture channels energy through matter, image, or sound, sustaining forms only briefly before they shift again.

The works assembled here explore this condition of transformation. In the experimental furniture of Mathias Palazzi and Marlon Bagnou Beido, industrial aluminium
profiles are cut, spliced, and fused with latex skins. Their structures suggest fossils, serpents, or mechanical relics, wavering between rigidity and fragility—metal unsettled
by organic echoes, as if matter preserved past lives while edging toward uncertain futures.

Superorganic Studio follows a similar rhythm in the Off Grid series, where military duffle bags slowly unravel. Through abrasion, their surfaces shed function to resemble
discarded skins. Utility dissolves into metamorphosis, persistence lingering within decay.

Léa Domingues turns to archives, projecting images in fleeting succession. What appears is quickly erased, creating a rhythm of visibility and disappearance. For her, the past is less a fixed record than a reservoir open to reactivation.

River Y extends this logic into sound. Composed from digital fragments, the piece drifts across shifting textures, privileging modulation over resolution.

Together, these practices frame design as energy in transit: not fixed objects but stages of transformation already in motion.
