Defragmentation (2017-2019)

The series ''Defragmentation'' (2017-2019) explores the idea of self-analysis and existence in the clip culture. How do I see? What are objects for me? What part of the symbolic meanings embedded in them can I read? Being alone in the kitchen and absorbing the light from a clear window, I used what I had at the time of creation around me – kitchen utensils and products were constructed into sculptures like steps of self-knowledge and reflection. The name – defragmentation – refers to the procedure of optimizing and speeding up the operation of computers, which is achieved by combining disparate fragments of files to increase the speed of reading data from the hard disk. I suggest that the viewer defragment one’s own internal disks as I’m transferring the process to perception and thinking, turning contact with the work into meditation. . . Pause for a moment in a kaleidoscope of scattered facts and pieces of information. Take a deep breath. Stop the internal dialogue, transforming the swamp of uncertainty into solid ground using quiescence and inner silence leading towards introspection and self-understanding. Fragmented consciousness is extremely conducive to all sorts of manipulation. The thought process is oppressed by stimuli, constantly changing, demanding compressed and easily digestible "food". Socialization. . . authority. . . enlightenment. . . relations. . . family. . . stability. . . overcoming. . . development. . . balance. . . protest. . . block. . . time. . . composure. . . regime. . . position. Mixed and torn into pieces of thoughts, aspirations, memories, experiences and knowledge – the living tissue of memory creates a coherent picture. Organize the database. Restart.
