Martinka Bobrikova & Oscar De Carmen / Installation

We take the Double Portrait of Hans Burgkmair with his wife Anna from Renaissance painter Lucas Furtenagela as the starting point for consideration of the work. The project is based on the theme memento mori that its impact in this work expanded from particular individuals, as seen on the image of the 16th century, the entire human community. The individual is closely linked with preset systems of the society in which he lives. Personification of the problem is hardly possible (although we report in prime time trying to prove otherwise). For an initial understanding of the problem, it must be seen in general. The work is a memento mori of the current economic model. As in our previous works, this will reflect the mood in society, politics and economics; a means of expression treated at a symbolic level. Immaterial nature of our work is related to liberating approach to creating work. It arises very often for the site and on site with recurrent sound.

The first part of the project was exhibited at Galerie Klubovna in Brno, Czech Republic in march 2015.
