URN IN THE AIR

Urn in the air is still in process of creation and explores the volatile truth of our memory and the intervention of mysticism and scientific facts into the sense of belonging.

Ordinary stones found on the street and in everyday places are assembled, painted or modified. The studio situation and flashlight gives them a performative character. The association of these images with narrated miracles and scientific texts manipulates their meaning, working as speculative interventions and new forms of knowledge.
