The classical epistemic model archeologically constructs a story in which man stands on top of a hill and looks down over the landscape below. Man has access to tools that help him to model the current situation and to explain past errors. But his present self-awareness always lies in a blind spot. Dragons and heavenly deities are noble embodiments and artifacts of older, rougher descriptions of the world. After all, thunder and lightning are merely created by the eagle-leopard, by ionized air.
Today, we try to circumvent this self-awareness as we work with an extra-axial model of history. The works in the gallery create traces that attempt to speak of levitation, of a force working against gravitation, of the yearning to fly and the idea of existing hope.
