INSTALLATION. 'CHANDELIERS' SERIES. 2014-2017.
WORKS FROM THE PROJECT SOAP AND WATCH FACTORY "RAY". 2024
OBJECTS. SERIES "PYRAMIDS". 2024.
The works form a new series of works where soap is not used as a readymade, but is taken as an image, and its practical meaning is replaced by a metaphorical one. Shaky unstable pyramids made of glossy ceramic soap are an alternative to porcelain elephants standing on a chest of drawers in some bourgeois apartment. Small plaques on the base suddenly introduce the discourse of time: Another 20 minutes, Constancy lasts five hours, Another 328 years, and the work becomes an absurdist measure of either lost or remaining time.
