New nature_Katarze
New nature, festival Katarze, Praha, 2025
The interactive installation deals with the issue of constant circulation and circulates in constantly repeating cycles. The work is the materialization of a new nature that man creates. Everything in the world keeps repeating itself over and over again, wars, pandemics, architectural styles, life and death. Some of us create our own cycles that we just don’t like to get out of, we find a rhythm of life, a stereotype that we stick to and constantly revolve within it. We get up in the morning, go to work, after work we open a beer, put the children to sleep, watch a series and go to bed. After twenty years, we can perhaps afford a mortgage, pay it off and then die and everything starts again somewhere else all over again and all over again, just a little differently, anew. It’s hard to get out of these cycles, it’s so natural, normal. The world is changing, people are still circulating, instead of water lilies there are LED strips, plastic tubes have replaced vines, it’s our world, man created it. It is a new nature, what man has created is natural to him. Lights flash quickly, plastics peek out of the asphalt like worms from clay. How can we get out of the circulations? Can we break free from them? Each of us can get out, just materialize our courage and step out of the crowd. Those who step out will move the world a little further, towards the journey to Mars, nuclear catastrophe, new nature. The installation includes interactive light objects that react to humans (noise, heartbeat, weight, alcohol, temperature). The installation is mainly made of discarded or recycled materials that were found or donated by companies as defective pieces. I would like to mention the sponsorship gift of RUBIDEA CZ s.r.o.
