ARTIST STATEMENT

text for exhibition Space is only noise

Marek Jarotta

Space is only noise

Author's latest work, where he work with exterior and interior of architectural object, which paint or print as photography, then he mechanically grind away it and mold again by using various of layers whether by adding new elements, which grid away and so this process of „build and destroy“ continue ( almost infinitely) in various stages. Analogous to middle ages palimpsests, there is mixed game of identity and relations continually transcribing. From sturdy, long durability material of body architecture becoming ephemeral, transient element on interface of abstraction and reality.

He displays „non-places“ in similar way- products of supermodernity, opposite of antropological places, spaces without identity, relation and historical relations, where becoming loss of subject between crowd. They are linked with transit, commerciality and leisure activities and serves to aacceleration of citculation passengers and goods, as are airport's hall, stations, highway and road communications, petrol stations, supermarkets, hotel chains, camps for refugees, amusement parks,... Human entering into space of „non-place“ is duty free from his obvious determinants. He is becomming only thereby, what he is doing as a passenger, customer, driver. Author dispaying these spaces without figural elements, he focusing attention on non-places itself, as spaces annonymous, depersonalize.They was absorbed by solitude, which themselves specify. There is arrested time and activity, there stayed only noise.
