Sofiya Mukhachova – Artist Statement
Why are we in the Universe? In its astonishing vastness where we know so little and mean so less, you feel so helpless but still assuming there is a place where everything is possible. With your thoughts and ideas you can send them as a signal into this black void in hopes for it to materialize and not get drown in eternity. You expect your signal would become a part of the whole and the infinite, where everything is subject to a yet unknown law of being. Where everything bad and terrible loses its meaning and transforms into a pixel, line, beauty and into pure light.
索菲娅·穆卡乔娃 – 艺术家陈述
我们为什么存在于宇宙中? 在其令人惊叹的浩瀚之中,我们所知甚少,意义如此之少,你感到如此无助,但仍然假设有一个地方一切皆有可能。 你可以用你的想法将它们作为信号发送到这个黑色的虚空中,希望它能够实现,而不是被永恒淹没。 你期望你的信号将成为整体和无限的一部分,其中一切都受制于未知的存在法则。 一切糟糕和可怕的事物都失去了意义,转变成像素、线条、美感和纯粹的光。
