Evolucija našeg Sunca kao mjehurića / Our Sun's Evolution, as a Bubble

„Evolucija našeg Sunca kao mjehurića“ privremena je site - specific instalacija/ performans/ zidni crtež. Radim liniju olovkom na velikom bijelom galerijskom zidu, a potom na taj crtež lijepim šibice tako da njihove glave slijede liniju. U trenutku kada je instalacija završena, palim šibicu nakon čega se odvija lančana reakcija širenja plamena. Zidni crtež koji tome uslijedi ostaje u prostoru do kraja izložbe.

Crtež predstavlja pojednostavljeno ponavljanje evolucije našeg Sunca - evolucijski proces svodnog vektora, koji aludira na pokret zvjezdanih tijela. Sunce se rastom, slično nakupinama mjehurića podvrgnutim pritisku, približava trenutku implozije.

Desetci tisuća šibica koji čine ovaj rad ilustriraju formaciju zvjezdane prašine i njenu pretvorbu u život kakav poznajemo. Vatra je izvor crteža, a sumporni smrad koji ostaje u prostoru nakon paleža služi kao opipljivi dokaz performansa. Simbolička uporaba Sunca i mjehurića (vatre i vode) referira se na osnovne elemente konstrukcije i destrukcije: kao što Sunce iscrpljuje vlastiti izvor energije i iskače kao mjehurić, elementi pušteni u prostor tom eksplozijom Supernove ponovno se materijaliziraju u nova zvjezdana tijela, nastavljajući kreativni proces.

'Our Sun's Evolution, as a Bubble' is a temporary site-specific installation/performance/wall drawing. I make a pencil line drawing on a large white wall in the gallery, then attach matches on this drawing so that the heads of the matches follow the lines. Once the installation is complete, I ignite the work and allow the chain reaction to take place. The resulting wall drawing remains in the space until the end of the exhibition.

The imagery in the wall drawing describes an iteration of a simplified evolution of our Sun. This evolution progresses on an arching vector, which alludes to the movement of stellar bodies. The Sun grows larger and, similar to a series of bubbles in compression, nears bursting point by the end of the evolution.

The tens of thousands of matches that compose the work illustrate the formation of stellar dust into life as we know it. Fire is the drawing source, and the sulphorous stink that remains in the space after the ignition serves as tangible evidence of the performance. The symbollic use of the Sun and bubble (fire and water) refers to the basic elements of construction and destruction: As the Sun eventually exhausts its fuel sources and 'pops' like a bubble, the elements released into space by this Supernova explosion rematerialize into other stellar bodies, continuing the creative process.
