State of impermanence, Niko Chodor's first exhibition with as-is, examines the visual language of identity documents and the bureaucratic systems through which identity is constructed and authenticated. Drawing from the intricate security patterns found on passports, visas, and permanent resident cards, Chodor meticulously redraws, enlarges, and reconfigures these otherwise overlooked designs, separating them from their administrative function. The resulting works consider the relationship between identity, borders, and nationhood, revealing the often invisible aesthetic structures that underpin systems of belonging. Presented in conjunction with Carter Potter's Picture Snatcher, State of impermanence offers a nuanced meditation on migration, authorship, and the constructed nature of national identity.
