About work

"Installation is made from the discarded office chairs and scaffolding pieces. Shape of the installation is based on the constellation Ursa Major. The constellation of celestial bodies represents a dynamic system. Activity of each individual member determines the status of all the other members as well as the state of the whole. Constellation of chairs formally refers to these dynamics, however is stuck in stalemate. Individual members of the system – office chairs – hold each other in the positions which disable any kind of action. Mutual relations are subject to the threat of collapse."
