ALGE JULIJA
EVENING BREAKFAST
The seria is based on my observations towards our modern society meeting points such as table and bed, which play an important role in everyday culture and social life as well religion, politics and history since early beginning in culture of human kind. Table and bed have long and weary road through thousands of years surrounded by social traditions and dogmas.
No matter how much our values and lifestyle has been changed through the ages these two places are still important and useful in everyone's everyday life to such extent I as an artist feel urgent need to look at these two things, which actually are much more then just a things. I see them as an idea or archetype which brings timeless value. With this seria of prints i would like to invite everybody for evening breakfast - to sit together and to taste conversation about art and its role in our modern World.
