Death of love-installation / 2016 / Bialystok
The project refers to the phenomenon of love, which is described in all the holy books of the world. Translating the suras of the Quran into Hebrew or fragments of the Torah into Old Russian-Slavic is the essence of the installation placed in the city of various cultures and religions that is Białystok. The Death of Love…is the project created in a place that once functioned as a cultural and religious melting pot of: Polish, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic and Orthodox people. To this day, echoes of its splendor can be felt in the subcutaneous tissue of the city of Białystok. The project refers the phenomenon of love, which is described in all the holy books of the world. Holy books read in synagogues, mosques, Catholic churches, Protestant congregations or Orthodox churches consume the souls of the faithful and not only. Is it enough? Why, despite so many holy, beautiful words, does love between majorities and minorities fade? Or maybe it is because majorities and minorities exist. The Death of Love… project tries to answer these and other questions.
Project created together with Małgorzata Wróbel-Kruczenkow – an artist from Białystok.
