A Constant Struggle, 2023

THE STRUCTURE
USUALLY APPEARED
AT NIGHT, WHEN THE LAST
RAYS OF THE
SETTING SUN
FELL THROUGH THE DENSE
CANOPY OF THE
FOREST
AND
THE WOOD
SEEMED TO
BECOME
ONE WITH
THE LIMESTONE

A thought experiment: Nowadays, the alien constructions fit seamlessly into the architecture of local language. As neophytes of unexplained origin, they are overgrown by plants and stand firmly anchored in the soil. They have become part of the landscape, part of earth, part of mythology. As ecosystems become unbalanced, the unknown becomes commonplace, the foreign becomes familiar. “A Constant Struggle” tells a story about the Anthropocene, about the influence of mankind on the history of the earth and about contemporary geo-political processes that influence the appearance of the planet.
