Personal statement on the collaboration with Karel Dudesek in To Know The Unkown
The art project “To Know The Unknown” is an interesting experience for me. In this process I see two people with different backgrounds meeting each other in a the landscape of a visual territory. There is no information, just pictures of high-rise buildings. By trying to look deeper into these 3 paintings I received, I made collages of green areas on top of these urban environments. This is my effort in communicating a landscape object based on my personal memory about living spaces.

Personal statement on the collaboration with Arya Sukapura for To Know The Unknown
I see cities as manmade canvases and objects. In my tradition I have been fascinated by traces and designs which the inhabitants draw or mark on walls and streets. In China such a combination represents a strong contrast towards the official design and architecture of the city scape and marks and traces of the inhabitants. Here two worlds collide by meaning and aesthetics. Beside such a man made interplay with his environment, nature is a significant game changer. Either showing us the merciless, or our own illusionary imagination towards plants and animals.
