I am trying to build a bridge between formal discourse of classical mediums and our “hidden”
feelings. In this project I am talking about loneliness. The part of the sculptures on the wall make
the line together with sculpture on the floor and drawings on the opposite wall. The whole space
is black and white, except the rear wall, which has color (paintings). Three speakers are placed on
the floor beside two opposite walls.
The sound unites all the works together. It is not loud, if you stay in the middle of the room, you
can hear a sort of cacophony or some separate words from each text. But if you come closer to
one speaker you can hear the whole text. There are also pauses each seven minutes.
The feeling that I was trying to reach with such exposition was unsettling feeling, feeling of
loneliness.
