"Alive” is a site-specific installation that includes objects, a video and a collage.

The work comes from my focus on necrophobia that I experience in the random moments in my daily life. Through my fear, I am questioning the reasons for my artistic production and the willingness of general permanence.

The process of the work was started by a small “mistake”. I was experimenting with the material to mimic the body parts of a human. I tried a lot to stabilize and maintain the specific forms of the combination of panties and wood chips. After all the form was always changing with every little movement and it was never really the same. Furthermore, the objects were slowly demolished by every movement.

That process made me question my focus on the concept of persistency and its effects on my art and life practices. Through that, I grasp the connection between that focus and my necrophobia. Death, as the concept and the fact, is a sharp certainty in our lives. Throughout history, it has been either ignored with distractions or escaped.

I have read my focus, on the persistence in the artwork, as a concept that exists at the intersection of the distraction and the escaping practices. By focusing on my distraction and escaping practices for death, with the work, I embrace my fear and question all those facts and the instability forms.

Thus I decided to observe and document the object, that is made by Wood-chips and panty, in nature and the urban areas. Also, I recorded the demolishment of the object by the moves

 

The numbers of the object and the material of the pedestals are decided based on the space. For the HVB KunstCUBEs, I plan to use concrete (eigentlich Flexkleber) coated MDF pedestals. I will make my final decision after I research the building. I might use other materials or ready objects such as types of furniture and/or equipment similar to the ones around the exhibition space.
