Newsfeed, 2022

The idea of ​​the work is a stream of relevant and controversial news about the world around us, which fills our daily lives and explodes us from the inside: these include reports about political conflicts arising in different parts of the world, resolved with weapons, about refugees, poverty; and ecological problems - pollution, climate change, the melting of glaciers and the rise of the ocean level, the growth of the population on the planet; surprising and inspiring news about the achievements of science and technology, the Milky Way above our heads, and the landing of spacecraft on other planets; and next to that - the cultural specificity of urban spaces, the influence of advertising, which shapes our world. All this reaches us through digital "windows" - screens. A flood of digital images, a flow of relevant and controversial news fills the spaces of our consciousness and memory, distracting us from the textures of real, tangible reality. We become like a container of digital images - knowledge. But digital reality is the reality of screen pixels that can be changed, corrected, distorted.
