Theory Briefing
- Margot Verne's 20×29 cm hand-cut paper collage literalizes "soft disaster" — fragility and destruction become the medium itself.
- The act of cutting paper enacts controlled entropy, echoing theories of creative destruction as a generative rather than purely destructive force.
- Offered for sale by BBA Gallery, the work frames collapse not as failure but as aesthetic and philosophical method.
