Total Loss 21 February – 28 February 2026 Wreckers Artspace – Closing Event 28 February
Wreckers Artspace
Total Loss takes its title from the language of insurance — the moment when damage is deemed beyond repair. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s image of a storm called “progress,” the exhibition reflects on catastrophe as both rupture and inevitability, where cause and consequence collapse into a single suspended image.
There is an intuition that precedes disaster: a thickening of time, a doubling back, a recognition that the event has already begun. Total Loss inhabits this psychological and political terrain, exploring fragility, debris and the accumulating weight of contemporary experience.

“a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them… while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.” ~Walter Benjamin
Total Loss borrows its title from the language of insurance: the point at which damage repair is declared unviable.
There is a certain intuition that precedes disaster, where the mind races ahead and doubles back at once, thickening time into brief suspension. The catastrophe has already begun, cause and consequence collapse into a single image.
