Leo Katunarić Kadele - Artifacts of the Future Past Each painting and sculptural object by Leo Katunarić Kadele is the result of a live pseudo-ritual—an embodied performance drawing from the symbolic gestures of ancient humanity and the emerging logic of machine systems. These are not traditional artworks; they are contemporary relics, forged in the tension between obsolete magic and accelerating information. Kadele’s rituals simulate sacred human actions—invocation, repetition, ecstatic movement—but filtered through the lens of data structures, glitch aesthetics, and techno-material logic. From this charged collision, objects are born: ambiguous, resonant forms that seem to contain purpose but evade clear definition. They are not made to serve; they are made to witness. Much like the pictographic marks left on prehistoric cave walls, these works carry the pulse of a particular moment in human evolution. They are time-stamped documents of our transition—from organic to algorithmic, from ritual to code. To collect them is to hold a fragment of now, impressed with the urgency and uncertainty of our age. These are not just artworks. They are artifacts of a species in flux—residues of performances no longer meant to summon gods, but to confront the machine and the self in equal measure. Unique and unrepeatable, each piece is a threshold between what we were and what we are becoming.
