The Form of the Subconscious, 1998

As a student at the Academy I got the workshop theme to do something that would not be bigger then one meter, would not be related to the wall and it would have integrity.

I took some plush toys and smeared them with glue and strew them with soil so that they looked like some kind of bulbs pulled out from the earth. The area around them was also smeared with soil in the form of a square, and everything all together was located on the floor.

I would interpret this work as a symbolic manifestation of the subconscious; through which come subconscious impulses from our childhood get a material form. If we want to end a particular life period it is necessary that we finally accept it and make it conscious, as this is the only way to step into the new life period.
