a collection of objects representing impersonified spaces of Helemba
The identity of objects depends, among other things, on their place in the spaces. The space in which the object is located has an identity-creating power in itself. Identities are also pervaded by a hidden desire for identification. The question posed by objects is whether individual natural spaces (island, bridge, delta) can be formulated as identities within an object. What associations do their appearance in a space create? The objects are painted using the vegetation found in the Helemba area as a tool, this gesture brings the fabric into interaction with the local flora, thereby creating a local identity for the art object. The vegetation used, the materials and processes (e.g. sedimentation) form an imprint on the objects. Materials used: frame made of tree of heaven, frame made of wild cherry, linen, glue, degrading plant pigments (tree of heaven, goldenrods, elderberry), salt of aluminium-sulfate, sodium salt of carbonic acid
