“The sum of these two” looks away from reality and ponders over the essence of the physical body. What if we no longer had a body and the opportunity to express oneself through it would disappear? The body defines a person’s self-awareness, carries meanings and is manipulated by the owner. A recognisably realistic and at the same time strangely deficient object points to a changing, elastic body with fluctuating mass. “The sum of these two” is a reference to everyday life as a spectacle where a person adapts to the mood and the surrounding environment. The work speculates between the body and the non-body and tries to create a dialogue between them.
