700 x 300 cm, canvans, styrofoam, reproductions 60 x 40 cm each
the installation is composed of a red background on which a sign and two reproductions of sacral paintings dominate
the way in which the work is set is based on political and propaganda esthetics; the setting reminds us of the setting of communist school events, syndicate and party gatherings
the Orwell-like sign “DON’T WORRY, EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL” can be understood in two ways, as bringing trust or creating an illusion of order on one hand, and symbolizing “higher force” control on the other
the sacral paintings emphasize both interpretations of the sign
the contradicting elements instead of “explaining” each other put us the borderline of sense, leaving us without a logical interpretation of the work i.e. our “control” over the work
