By the River/Matrix 200

The By the River installation occupied a floor space of 14 by 7 meters, consisting of drawings and acrylic paintings on wood panels of different thicknesses. It created a kind of large map/garden, comprising several layers of various heights, resembling a view of a city from above.

By the River focused on mapping key figures and significant life experiences in the artist's life and their integration. The images were displayed as large cards, offering a philosophical re-arrangement of this biographical data while allowing for an open interpretation. The work questioned the contour as an identification line.

The installation resembled a huge game of chess enabling the constant movement of key images, as well as depicting the disruption of structure, identity, the disappearance of the contour line, and different movements of the narrative components in space.
