Poetics of the System
What if the system itself became the poem?
Rather than tear systems apart, artists are now weaving with them. Industrial pipes, legal codes, public seating — these are not just materials, they’re metaphors. At HSUBAND, fittings become stand-ins for emotional closure. Claudia Pagès Rabal turns water laws into choreography. Olaf Metzel bends public infrastructure until it speaks.
This isn’t escape. It’s entanglement. It’s what happens when poetry emerges from inside the grid.
