Selection

The work Selection presents the depicted group of people in a crowd. Dolls without faces, dressed in everyday men’s clothing, halted in a confused and demented state of a disrupted action and act. These are figures of people who no longer have an identity, a specific persona and a singular character. Selection expresses the visual and spatial dramaturgy of “tragic alienation” which is reinforced by the non-presence of life in the field of the visible, physical and human. The criteria of coexistence are deeply rooted in this work, as there is a need to incite dialogue and create opportunities for the observer to complete them. People-figures-dolls should allegorically and symbolically urge the viewer to identify with them and examine one’s own place in society that is in permanent crisis on a global scale, and whose values are often distorted. The sound consists of the sequences of daily thoughts which constantly exhibit the moment of dominant misunderstanding and wandering. These revived bodiless forms, derived from the times in which we lived in, present the ghosts of generational trends and destinies, showing the naked man or aspects of an individual’s life in the midst of social influences.

We constantly watch each other
We are tired, we stand and wait
We’ve been watching each other
We are slowly starting to speak
If we speak, they don’t listen
If they listen, they don’t understand
We do not dare to look up
We search for a friendly face
We wander among people
Hundreds of miserable dolls
