"Assassinate ,)‘ Electronic Dragonfly Eye ‘(," (2024)

EN
In a world where reality is a meticulously crafted illusion, we live our best lie, surrounded by the unblinking gaze of the electronic dragonfly eye. This omnipresent surveillance weaves a tapestry of control and spectacle, a silent yet profound confrontation that pervades every moment of our existence.

"Assassinate ,(‘Electronic Dragonfly Eye‘(," is an expression of this delicate state of near-imbalance, where privacy teeters on the brink and individuality is constantly negotiated. In this work, a powerful force stirs within the calm, questioning the status quo with a quiet yet relentless resistance.

DE
In einer Welt, in der die Realität eine minutiös ausgearbeitete Illusion ist, leben wir unsere beste Lüge, umgeben vom blinden Blick des elektronischen Libellenauges. Diese allgegenwärtige Überwachung webt einen Teppich aus Kontrolle und Spektakel, eine stille und doch tiefgreifende Konfrontation, die jeden Moment unserer Existenz durchdringt.

"Assassinate ,('Electronic Dragonfly Eye‘(," ist ein Ausdruck dieses heiklen Zustands eines Beinahe-Gleichgewichts, in dem die Privatsphäre auf der Kippe steht und die Individualität ständig verhandelt wird. In diesem Werk regt sich eine mächtige Kraft in der Ruhe, die den Status quo mit einem leisen, aber unerbittlichen Widerstand in Frage stellt.
