Sisyphean task

2014
Spatial installation, bronze, ready made
 

We all know the story of Sisyphus – a man pushing his rock up the hill every day, for no reward. But who is Sisyphus today? Is he in us all? Do we choose to be him? The answer to this question may be left to each of us alone. But what if Sisyphus was pushing the stone just for the illusion of meaning, just to get to a promised better life, a better life that others promised him? Life where everything is beautiful. Where everything is easier. Where people are perfect to their liking. An advertisement.
 
Shovels with perforated pattern are indicating these questions of Sisyphus work. Construction tool becomes the subject of thought and no longer of use.
