Saying it all out loud when you’ve got absolutely nothing left to say. Sticking to the method by turning materials into dark matter. Finding a meaning and purpose only to lose it again. Studying any topic by beating it up with a sophisticated yet steely hammer.
The exhibition plods along, guided by snow, plastic and paint, looking for contact, purpose and a lost meaning. Absence gives orders to presence which is only conjured up by a viewer. The purpose of the work and presenting its mark, the material, the message and the impossibility of conveying it dive into a bubble and come out of there.
The starting point is, of course, a human mystery – an impulse that generates a compelling need to announce one’s existence, even if it is in an empty forest. The surrounding reality is at the same time a noisy and mute chaotic structure that absorbs all messages and mixes them into a chunk of signals. One can try to scratch a mark on the surface with concentration, confidence and uncertainty. It cannot be seen or heard but it can be felt.
The works are not parodies, irony, borrowed pieces of culture or esthetically pleasing to the eye. The jungle of emptiness created by the post-industrial marching order is waiting for an explorer.
