Future Artefacts contains traces of the present and signs for the future.
The installation simulates the creative process that takes place between the visible and the invisible experience: the body loses its perfection and is now appears in a different form of detached parts. It is now something between an abstraction and illustration, between infinity and temporality.
The face casting preserves a certain moment in time, "Hand impression" and "Emotions" use an imprint of the artist's hands. While the monades have a different texture and suggest the healing power of time.
The installation examines the connections between our inside and outside, between visibility and inner feelings, between temporary and contemporary versus immortality and between the parts to the body and the body as a whole.
The works preserve a given moment in time and reveal the material in either massive forms or fragile layers.
The term "Future Artefacts" implies an enigma of time and place.
It is, in fact, a kind of 'Archeology of the future'.
