The coin which never stops to spin

 

Portal to the other realm

 

Geometry of prediction

 

Meaningless chart-graphs

 

Abandoned Office

 

‘Divine Interventions <–> Force Majeure’ is an ongoing series of works exploring the idea of economic shamanism and how the business of future forecasting evolved from esoteric and ritualistic believes into a corporate industry.

 

‘Divine Interventions <–> Force Majeure’ combines well-known economic symbols, forgotten currencies with instruments to predict the future. They all meet together in a dreamlike, ultramarine, office-interior referring to corporate aesthetics of financial institutions and the history of the value drop of the blue pigment (from very precious and rare to blue-collar emblem).  The starting point for the work is a question on how do we fabricate the value.
