SIMPLE SIGNS
metal, wood, glass, plaster, found objects, 90x90x40 cm each
2022
Forgotten in haste — objects left behind by those who had no time to gather their things. What do they reveal about the ones who had to abandon their homes? Severe reliefs, guardians of stories with no one left to tell them — only listeners remain. They stand like road signs along a long, long journey.
* The installations are interactive: you may touch the objects and explore the experience of someone else’s escape.
