“My Universe is my eyes”
Technological progress has changed the world around us; mythical concepts of the world are losing their power and are no longer able to protect a person from loneliness and loss of meaning. Our bodies lose the sacredness of creation, becoming biomaterial. The question of how much we are still a part of nature and what we do and how we do it can be perceived as natural, or are we in a post-natural or post-human phase, becomes relevant. “My Universe is my eyes” is the raw process of shaping the future, there is no division between the living and the non-living, man, nature, plastic. Everything is everything.
Is there a place for magic today, have we destroyed the last hopes for miracles with our own hands?
“Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee…” In our installation, we recreate a semblance of a laboratory of a shaman scientist calling on the most important mythical creature - the unicorn, to help regain at least hope in this super turbulent period of conflict between the old and the not yet formed new form of human existence. And of course, the action takes place in a garden, because it was the garden that was at the beginning of human history, it was the garden that was the laboratory of God.
The garden as a metaphor, a unique space at the intersection of the metaphysical field of consciousness with physical reality, a secret place that exists as personal for each and at the same time is common to all.
(Job 39:9-12 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?)
