In my sculptural installations, formally, I use 2 types of elements:Â
One part consists of industrially produced mass-commodities, which were disposed of and were recycled by me for this installation. Pieces of garbage interest me. Even if materials used for their production originally come from a natural landscape, after they are manufactured by us, these objects do not desintegrate easily into the same landscape. Some, for example, plastic, will take up to thousand years to do so. When I am thinking about this time frame, I imagine the world which neither we, nor many generations after us will see, but these objects will be the ones to witness it.Â
The other type of elements consists of materials, that are made by me and easily decompose, such as paper mache, soil, kombucha leather, bioplastic, bones. I grow these materials on garbage in a way, which reminds me of unseen types of flora. This flora uses the garbage as architecture for building their own living spaces. It thrives in these once-human-made structures.Â
Together, these two types of elements form an intertwined living organism, that is brought for us to see from my imagined future world.
Aspects that are important for me of this work are:Â
*different time scales- human lifetime comparred to geological time,Â
*natural/cultural landscape, both kinds intertwined,Â
*de-centring of the human perspective and bringing perspectives of non-human into imagination.
