Procedures Without Central Authority
In this body of work, instinct is treated as if it could be organized, catalogued, and administered. Animals are placed within fictional bureaucratic structures that attempt to formalize behaviors such as timing, cooperation, withdrawal, and adaptation.
Each piece pairs a precise institutional title with a restrained textual statement, suggesting systems that document rather than direct. Control is implied, but never fully enacted.
The works explore what happens when self-organizing processes are viewed through the lens of administration. What appears is a quiet mismatch: systems built for regulation encounter forms of intelligence that operate without hierarchy or central control.
