Fade | Installation at the SineDie ProjectRoom Berlin, 2011
multimedia
fading = vanishing = disappearing
the memory that we are persisting to keep is fatally vanishing.
it is NOT about the memory of romanticized doubtful events, it is about the unmistakable, coherent present.
To disappear as a whole sculpture from Berlin, to re-appear in single pieces spread throughout the world.
During the exhibition everyone was allowed to buy and “take away” one or more pieces of the installation leaving "holes" of memory in the space.
The installation faded (partially) away systematically.
It is poetic:
The artist is vanishing.
The artist is everywhere.
It is critic as well:
The artist and the audience symbolically
“donate” their organs to each other.
“I sell you my heart so I can survive,
I depend on you to exist,
you depend on me
to feel worthy of existing.
Collect me,
collect me in single pieces because
the whole that I am is too heavy,
too challenging to stand.”
