MIXED MEDIA, 2024
work cv portfolio contact
In the dimly lit expanse of “Tnúdgal’s Descent,” the work unfolds as a visceral exploration of the brutality that arises from a desperate compassion for societal change. The stage is set as an abstract realm, an arena where the struggle for transformation plays out in symbolic gestures and intense actions. The work attempts to dissect the set of religious symbolisms that constitute the prehistory and history of the Christian idea of Hell so as to explore the ways in which its oneiric and bodily imaginary survives in the context of the contemporary world.
Originally presented at the exhibition Hell Remains.
