Installation

Luka Lasareishvili

A 100 m2 (1100 sq. ft) square space, surrounded by walls; each wall has a door in the middle; red carpets are connecting the four doors, thereby forming a red cross in the middle of the floor surface; above this space an all-covering umbrella-like bamboo roof, the form of which is reminiscent of a half globe; three tables and twelve chairs are located in the middle near the crossing carpets; in a surrounding circle twelve paintings (silkscreen on sand on canvas, each 200 x 170 cm/ 79”x 67”) are freely hanging from the ceiling; the paintings depict the destruction of the human environment by mankind´s “progress”, including tanks, fighter planes, gas masks, soldiers and military cemeteries. Visitors of the installation were served red wine and bread.
