2024
A cloud is there. It has weight, it moves, it never settles into a shape. What runs inside it is chemistry, reactions in something that offers no surface. You pass through one and what stays on the skin is water, the same thing arrived in another state.
Present, and nothing to put a hand on.
Nothing holds still long enough to be named, and nothing is cut off from the rest. Underground a mycelium does the same work the other way round, connecting without declaring anything.
What resists definition is also what makes weather.

2023 - 2024
The surfaces could be another planet or this one. Nothing in the frame says at what distance you are standing: a ridge or a deposit, a desert or a slide under glass. Water, air and rock are in the same surface and none of them settles out.
A beginning and an end have the same shape.
At that scale nothing separates stone from what has begun to live. A first landscape and a ruined one are hard to tell apart. The second has come back to the same place by another route. Desolation is not the opposite of genesis, it is what genesis looks like arriving from the other side.
Geology before anything else: the history of the earth and the history of the living, where neither clearly starts or stops.

2023
What counts as real depends on the register you are standing in, and there is no register above the others from which to settle it. Law, fiction, belief and measurement each hold by their own conditions, and none of them cancels the rest.
What is underneath is not covered.
Several registers occupy the same surface at once, tinting each other rather than covering. All of them stay readable, and none of them wins.
These are the artifacts of the inquiry, not what it concluded.
