Company Gallery is pleased to present the first New York solo exhibition by Felipe Meres. A play on the term fission (the process by which certain organisms reproduce asexually), Meres’ Fsision considers the splits and entanglements—sexually, imagistically, and materially—that define predominant conceptions of nature and, by extension, inform how we make sense of ourselves.

A series of large photographs included in the exhibition continue Meres’ inquiry on representations of nature and scientific imagery. The photos—taken in the flooded forest of the Amazon and the geothermal Hveragerði region of Iceland—glisten and shimmer with wet life, the exact dimensions and features of which are altered and obscured. Printed and mounted on metallic surfaces, the works draw on the aesthetics of scientific authority and reconsider the objective quality of detached observation.
