"In art it is hard to say anything as good as: saying nothing." Ludwig Wittgenstein
The term "crisis" comes from the ancient Greek word "Krisis," meaning "choice" or "judgment." Originally, it had a positive connotation, representing moments of introspection and decision-making. Today, however, it often carries a negative tone, associated with turmoil and instability.
With this project I aim to turn crisis into opportunity, fostering change and clarity, I've developed a mantra—a series of meditations to help overcome artistic blockages. These meditations invite not just personal reflection but encourage viewers and curators to engage in the artistic process, making them active participants in exploring creative impasses.
"It is hard in art to say anything" reflects on the connections between the mind and art, failure and opportunity, and the relationship among artists, curators, and audiences. In collaboration with Shivum Sharma, Anna Szczykutowicz, and Chris Aiken, this work takes the form of three sonic installations within a blue room—a space designed to inspire introspection and dialogue, resonating with the complexities of the human experience.
