Hortus conclusus

Soiling, honey, cut photographs, 2012
The work functions as a commentary to the diagram by Kuba Woynarowski. This diagram was combined with the fragments of Jerzy Ludwinski’s theory on the interconnection of art and life. A comment placed in the stain of honey was a critical remark on the vision of art-paradise when everything is depending on aesthetical choices. The sentence in the stain is a quote from the Dialectics of Enlightenment by Adorno and Horkheimer: “everything is identical with everything but nothing can be identical with itself”. The work was part of a project Hortus conclusus thought as a series of interventions on the works of other participants.
