Pharmacie M.D. 2038
2023
Installation
Materials : LED light bulb,
magnifying glass, vitamin D capsule, A4 print.
Vitamin D capsule, illuminated by a LED light bulb, replicates human relationship with the sun. By passing through the magnifying glass its artificial light is being transformed into a ‘sunbeam’ that illuminates a picture of a forest. According to scientists, pictures of nature can evoke positive emotions in people, just like sunshine and vitamins. In 1914 Marcel Duchamp bought a cheap reproduction of the winter landscape by an unknown artist. Then he added two drops of colour (green and red) creating a readymade. This became Duchamp’s artistic property under the title ‘Pharmacie. Marcel Duchamp/ 1914’. ‘Pharmacie’ is now being re-created again and supplemented with a ray of artificial sunlight. The title ‘Pharmacie M.D. 2038’ refers to Marcel Duchamp’s copyright expiring in the year 2038.

Self - portrait on a lightbox.
Materials: animal tongue.
Language directly shapes the way
we think and the meaning of being a human being.
This piece is about the loss of one's
mother tongue, one's native
language, and therefore about the
partial loss of one's humanity.
Aristotle argued that man is a
"political animal". Heidigger saw
the difference between two in the
fact that man creates his own
world and the animal lacks one.
The loss of the mother tongue is
also the loss of the original
worldview. The subject in such
situation can be classified as
"lacking a world", but at the same
time not having lost the ability to
create one.
