Scientists dissect it—searching for cosmic significance, hidden structures, evidence of meaning. But it's just a teddy bear.

Lurmin's Anatomy explores this absurd investigation: the human impulse to extract extraordinary meaning from ordinary things, even when none exists. Through enamel, metal, transparent films, and mixed-media constructions, the work materialises a fictional autopsy as wearable pieces and small installations. Clean structures, hidden mechanisms, and movable elements layer medical imaging against cosmic imagery—inviting viewers to rotate, lift, and peek as if they too are investigating something that might reveal a secret.

The secret is that there is no secret.

This tension—between the urge to understand and the acceptance of meaninglessness—mirrors how we encounter everyday objects. We assign narratives, search for patterns, construct explanations. The work sits in that space: playful, speculative, and unresolved.
