From April 2 to April 6 Kateryna Bortsova solo exhibition "Self-propulsion" took place in Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA) South Korea.
The concept of my project directly related to the travel and self-realization of man in a globalized world. Also in my project, I juxtaposing theory of self-movement and philosophical theory of Plato's cave.
I have been working on this project since 2016 and every year it continues to develop and fill with new conceptual meanings. Since the semantic basis of my project is directly related to movement and world trends, the events that take place fill its weight with deeper meanings. He was born as a response to events with a migratory crisis, and on several years later, based on studies of different cultures of the world he was to have a value philosophy. I continue my research and with the inclusion of more and more countries, my project continues to develop. Personal experience is invaluable, because by feeling on yourself you can more clearly describe it to others.
The project explores “conceptual maps” of both individuals and collectives’ perceptions of reality, which is in constant change and acts as a muse fall on thinking about fundamental questions: Are we only accepting the reality of the world presented to us ignoring other perspectives of the truth? Are we aware and capable of acknowledging the blurry line between virtual and real, visible and invisible?
Main concept of my project based on notions "Movement = Change". This is an understanding of changes in the social environment, a person's place in a modern city; stratification and layering of various cultural, social changes.
The peculiarity of this exhibition is that each of the visitors can participate in the creation of a future work from the project. You will see a map of the World on which, using special self-adhesive elements, each visitor can mark their country or the country they dream of going to or the country they have been to... After the exhibition, I will create a special artwork from this map that will give a new semantic development to my project.
In exhibition could take part visitors by marking theirs favorited place on the World map. After Kateryna Bortsova will create artwork from this map.
