ABSTRACTS

SERIES 01 

WHISPERING CORNERS IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

In my artistic practice, I conceptualize consciousness as an infinite, empty space – a reverberating void interspersed with small, concealed places. These places resemble fragments of memory, distant from one another yet inexplicably connected, potentially through an endless network of conduits. In this space, neither direction nor time adhere to any logical structure; it is a surreal environment that encapsulates a particular emotional state.

One might envision this space as an endless house filled with rooms. Some rooms are narrow and labyrinthine, while others are vast halls with soaring ceilings. It is a space one enters when absorbed in thought – whether in search of a memory or in the process of solving complex problems. It is also from here that the inner voice emerges when we most need it, although it may, at times, murmur incessantly when we would prefer silence.

SERIES 02

TALKING TOOLS

The "Talking Tools" represent communication toolboxes, where various vowels and consonants can be identified within each element. By substituting one element for another, it becomes possible to generate any text. Our voice serves as both a powerful weapon and a tool of oppression, as well as an instrument of kindness and peace. This interchangeability is symbolized by a striking representation reminiscent of an exquisite butterfly collection.

The background for this artwork is rooted in the classic technique of frame-by-frame animation, employing so-called replacement lip shapes. Presented as a sequence of images, this technique creates the illusion of movement in our consciousness. While it is ultimately an optical illusion, our brains interpret it as fluid lip movement.

WHISPERING VOICE OF MY GLORIOUS DICTATOR

Strategic Conquest of Power through Propaganda: Propaganda should succeed in creating and disseminating fantasies, images, and opinions in order to build and control a collective consciousness. The masses are meant to succumb to a charismatic, god-like leader who can tame and guide them. External opinion formation is to occur through constant repetition—it is the implantation of ideas into the subconscious, which can operate across all channels, such as voice, text, and images, further amplifying the effect. This mechanism ensures long-term control over the masses, shaping their thoughts and behaviors according to the will of those in power.

SERIES 03

THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD

What goes around comes around. Gossip and chatter serve as the instruments of weak people who resort to lies and enmity as their means of communication. Such individuals find an easily accessible outlet for their own frustration, as conflict resolution within their immediate environment proves too arduous. Ultimately, everything follows a choice; for when someone spews venom, they are already poisoned and unwell, is that not so?
