JERNEJ FORBICI
Installation Bitter Symphony - Hunger.
“Bitter symphony. This is how we could name now day system of exploring nature. An orchestra of scientists is working in a straight contact with nature to push her to the limits. To understand its every most dark secret and change it into their profit. By pushing each and every research and result to its boundary they are causing tremendously and irreversibly changes that will surround us with unbearable circumstances. For what reason? Here it comes to my mind a song by Radiohead “How I made my millions”, one of the saddest songs ever written.”
Forbici is confronting us with an idea of the future made possible by a present system, thoughtlessly based on the plundering of the Earth’s resources. It is an idea of unbearable circumstances in which man will soon find him self.-
His work is a protest against the greatest illusion of Modern man: the idea of nature as a pure object, followed by the idea of rule of technique over it.
