The boulder of consest, object, stone (created in Copper Leg Art Residency), 2021
The boulder of consent is an object, on the one hand, referring to Slavic folklore, in which the protagonist finds a similar boulder at a crossroads,. There is a certain agreement with the acceptance of the fact that after following a certain path he will accept his fate. The main content of these boulders is also the user's confirmation that he takes on all risks and subsequent events.
We also meet often similar agreements in contemporary world. Usually such agreements contain a large amount of text with vague formulations, which often a person does not read a detailed description and simply clicks "accept".
The object is part of the project, in which objects combine elements of paganism and modernity, analyzing the trend of technology turning into a kind of magic, due to the growing gap between understanding how it works, the crisis of trust in official sources and the fear of global control with their help.
