What we could do while we are broken
Desire of freedom is a complex and dominant part of the human spirit both on an individual and community level. Interestingly freedom is like the air: we only could feel it when we don’t have it. When it starts to get out of our hands, we do not notice. It is a must to keep alive the human spirit as the air keeps alive the body. The first part of the installation, Jail of shades grabs the freedom phenomenon as an illustrative and lyrical way. There is smoke inside of a heavy metal construction that escapes and becomes one with the air. The prison tries to capture all the meaningful and important things which are really limitless in life. This artwork is a metaphor of the remark when all of living beings recognize, that the real lock is only our thoughts which also could melt like smoke. This is the prison of our internal and external world as well.
Freedom is volatile and liquid, it has no physical shape and could appear anywhere. Some political, economical and ideological systems try to put it between boundaries, and that’s why our society is so unequal, and that’s why so many people’s future have been stolen. We need to see across the system in order to manage our life succesfully. This screen title, Don’t have illusions about your future appears like a mantra and stimulates the observers seeing and understanding their present and their future as well. If we understand the circumstances we will make the right action and decision as well. This is the way how we could build a future based on consciousness and consideration.
The last part of the environment is The real price of freedom, which processes the value-valuelessness category. This installation is made of fictious money, and every banknote has infinite value. This artpiece is generative and interactive as well, because the recipients can take money with them, and make their own material stability. However, it is uncountable, therefor worthless. This artwork reflects the unequal economical stance and tries to make it equal. The question of the real value of money is asked and the answer becomes clear, that it is the real price of freedom.
