"Now it's beautiful" (performance/installation/movie)
Installation and movie of the process. Visually, the application of talcum powder to carbon is the opposite of a natural process, (from white color to black) the melting of glaciers in the Arctic. Ice flowing into the oceans exposes the rocks. In this work, I am trying to reverse this process and show how much effort is needed to stop climate change. In terms of meaning, coal powdering is a process that we see when we watch commercials every day, hearing about great corporate initiatives that allegedly want to change the world for the better. How can they do it if the goal for which they are established is to earn maximum profit for their owners? Has anyone ever heard shareholders prefer ecology or the fate of people over their profit? This powder is eco-washing, it is also everyday lies we hear from politicians and corporations.
Technique: Hard coal, technical talc (the basic ingredient of the powder used in cosmetics)
Year: 2021
