Capsule of Memory

In this installation the artist borrows the easy recognizable image of a jar as a container for preserving fruit and vegetables.

Formally the artist has changed nothing. There is a jar, a fruit or vegetable into the jar and a texted information on the jar. However, spectators will know nothing about calories, fats and carbohydrates. It is not only because fruit and vegetables are felted. They are a source of information which triggers memories connected to people, events or traditions. And the text on the jar tells about it. The number of pieces in the installation is variable. Any person can share with his or her story.

Indeed, it isn’t a story about a tomato or cucumber, but about a political or economic situation, interethnic relations, superstitions, traditions, and so on.
