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.

M’OTHER TONGUE


2020
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.
