Situation 48
Welcome to Oikos. Oikos is a house that breathes and hums. Branches grow through it, which, together with its inhabitants, keep the house running. Giants, bald mermaids, shape-shifters, crows with anthracite cloaks, Johan, inseparable twins, Erlenah, who locks the door with a chain, Ama, who knows all kinds of medicinal plants, Pragma, with problems well hidden under the carpet, Tarván with two fish tails, but also Diamon, a monster who takes on the form of our worst anxieties and fears. Alma, the author of this exhibition and book, also lives there.
The long life of industrial products, their slow decomposition and their subsequent journey into the earth - with all this, the artist gives nature and geological time a far more optimistic perspective than we as humans can attribute to ourselves. We now know that the garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean has exceeded the size of Texas and is approaching the size of all of North America.
