This project is devoted to the phenomenon of creating worlds (worlding). Recent political events have transformed our comfort zone, changed habits and created new social and cultural relations. Seen from our personal experience the layers constitute our views of the world but not necessarily form a solid and coherent world, but often flee to different multiple constellations.
The exhibition is a subjective visualisation of the sense of multiple habitats. Each work reflects a particular aspect of life experiences and assembles a small model of a specific micro universe. Days, events, locations are transformed into unpredictable interpretations depending on the different optics selected.
