People live in a plastic world. We know that we are surrounded by earth, water, air full of artificial particles. All of it is domestic, but it's not part of nature
My exhibition “Plasticum” reflects on our plastic bag planet, where the elements
consisting of human bodies flow like rivers in artificial landscapes. Where the main
driving force is consumption, resulting in the creation of a lifeless plastic
environment.
In the “Plasticum” exhibition, I quote Kashimir Malevich with my triptych. He created the iconic painting compositions “Cross”, “Square”, “Circle” at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, there were still ideals. In the XXI century, they have become a farce, turned into “perfect” plastic figures. The man-made environment is like a tornado that destroys everything in its path. And finally destroys its creators.
Where is humanity headed? Do we have more broadening perspectives on the
horizon? Or is the world about to end for us forever? However, the hope remains that the end is not yet.
