Ren Gregorčič’s practice engages with entangled relationships between materiality, perception, and environmental systems. Grounded in a site-based approach, he uses experimental fieldwork, site-responsive sculptural practices, sound, performative gestures, and dialogic interventions to examine the material and conceptual dimensions of place. Each work is a system of thought. They posit how physical and ideological structures shape human and non-human interactions and how these interactions, in turn, influence us.

Concrete is a recurring material of interest, appearing as a symbol of modernity’s propensity to standardise, classify, and dominate; an emblem of progress and ecological violence. Gregorčič deconstructs such material hierarchies, exposing their conditions while proposing alternative modes of understanding and engagement that are slow, deliberate, and propositional. The artist’s position is fundamentally posthumanist. He critiques anthropocentric frameworks that separate humans from their environments, advocating for interdependence and reciprocity in thought and matter.

This interdependence and reciprocity is, however, not free from the past or the trajectories of probable futures. The impacts of colonial extraction are enduring, industrial expansion and the commodification of natural resources ceaseless and the norms that govern them totalising.
