WANT TO BE MORTAL

2013, installation/mural

The project Want To Be Mortal is an atypical mural-inscription realized with the use of artificial grass. The work for the first time emerged in the Poznań city space during the Murals Festival Outer Space, and refers to the issues of transience and fugacity. It expresses a desire to participate in natural processes, which in contemporary world are often taxed by the myth of beauty, eternal youth or being immortal. It is agitating in favour of participation in the conscious, mortal, but real life.
