About the art
Artist statement
Special photoprint on canvas.
There is a disaster in 10years time. We lose all information we have,
but people are still desperate to have information. They make clothes
you can infer the personal details from. There are marks on the
clothes. There is also personal information about the people; what
they do and what they like. I would like to convey that a high
percentage of the information we use nowadays is not really relevant
for our lives. We tend to have too much information, however we do
not have the ability to deal with it as we do not know how to be
selective. The broken pieces of ceramic on the floor that you see in
the video are pieces of information from the past. We do not know how
to reassemble them. These have been destroyed by the disaster.
*There is a one line scratch on the surface. see the additional photo.
