Void_Melbourne presents Mark Hislop’s exhibition, State to State. State to State brings together works that explore different kinds of transformation. The exhibition takes its title from the literal movement of materials—fragments of wall transported between cities and embedded in new locations—but this physical journey opens up broader questions about how things change state: from visible to hidden, from presence to absence, from solid documentation to something more ethereal and poetic.

Spanning ten years of Mark Hislop’s practice, these works reveal transformation as both a physical process and a way of working as an artist. Rather than focusing on fixed destinations or final outcomes, they explore the in-between spaces where change happens: the moment breath obscures an image, the hidden disk connecting distant studios, the slow dissolution from photograph to abstraction through drawing.
