How
would you visually imagine earth as one living organism? As something strong
and fragile at the same time, something responding, reacting to our actions? I
was looking for an image to illustrate this idea. That led me to the vision of
the city on the back of the whale: while the city is over the sea level, the
whale swims under it. It is a question of will and question of time, if the
whale will hold the city, or just dive into deep waters.
The exhibition Sleepers shows scenes from different places in the world, where
mostly young people suffer consequences of global market. Sleep is a form of
non violent resistance; or in other case just a response of the body to the
unbearable working pressure.
The Whale World mural and the exhibition "Sleepers" was conceived for Nástupišťe 1-12, alternative cultural space in Topoľčany, Slovakia.
