about

“Visit the interior parts of the earth; by rectification you will find the hidden stone.” is the expression that we find in the acronym V.I.T.R.I.O.L (Visita Interiora Terrae, Rectificando, Invenies Occultum Lapidem), first track from the album SHAM. There is a belief that the hidden stone is the matter with the power to transform all metals into gold or silver, the medicine to cure all diseases and the elixir of long life that guarantees the longevity of any living being. On this LP, Belfast-based artist Dislover starts with one element: Blue Vitriol, copper sulfate used in a wide range of industries. Surrendering ourselves to the voices of an inner restlessness and to a lively architecture of metallic movements. We are brought down by a spiral of colliding elements and materials that mutate without any functional reason, they are only active as a result of their existence. Dislover doesn't want to design a purpose on the machines that haunt these tracks, in turn, encourages them to drop a certain exoskeleton so that they grow bigger, as is the case with Sanctum. We cannot expect an easy journey in this introspection, seeing ourselves in our most impermeable form, we are defined not by how we see ourselves or would like to see ourselves, but by an intrinsic essence that is stimulated by those who observe us. Here, through the spirit of machines, Dislover encourages us to expel our deepest self.
