Mending Worlds
Mending Worlds A site-specific project for PINEA-LINEA DE COSTA Coming up with Aby Warburgs research about “Bildfahrzeuge” (picture vehicles) in his Mnemosyne Atlas - antic hellenistic symbols, icons and figures getting of interest for cultures and religions in different periods - spread from India and Persia over almost all European countries, my art project treats the local specific and historical combination of cultural traces in Andalusia (traces b.C., also of the Islamic/Moorish past before “reconquista” and the catholic culture ongoing to recent times). By different technics of collaging photographs, paperwork and objects the project shows in an subtle way various forms and needs of combining and/or reintegrating pictures/icons from these different cultures/religions and periods. So new formal and in the same time symbolic connections/meanings amongst different subjects and icons may occur. There are small sculptures from natural and industrial objects found on Rota’s shore and a range of differently produced assemblages of Andalusian iconical pictures/traces and plants too. Trying to find an esthetic equivalent for the infinity of Islamic ornaments/mosaics without begin and end, for example I developed a form of “lost” embroidery to link figures and signs originally not belonging to each other.
