Luca Klauba (b. 2001) lives and works in Chicago’s West side; brought up in a family of house painters, city laborers, and tradesmen, the breadth of occupying infrastructural spaces for fabrication unravel into a project of re-naming. Through lens based practices that articulates a body's macro-contextual proximity to an urban sprawls historical roots in industrialized systems; an endeavor taken to re-articulate cultural production within and around a post/present industrial environment poses questions on collective awareness of when Earth shifted from a finite resource, into the trapping capitalist economy infinitude of ‘land as property.’ Material inquires, poetics, a photograph to be brushed over; intaken the same as the staining of a plywood sheet used to cover over a space where a window once had sat. The plywood placed over a doorway becoming a table top, a substrate, a point to where material imbues generational understanding and articulation when one’s culture is replaced with labor - the need to consistently produce capital; a material project now undertaken to re-imbue labor, the material it utilizes, as a space for reclaiming. Culture is now re-defined as the work and daily re-articulation of where you stand, inhabit, breathe, to cry: sleep.
