Cleft is a culmination of a whole range of imagined hybrids, flora and fauna by merging the national animals and plants of hostile neighbor states. In Cleft these creatures roam the earth and skies and gaze questioningly towards the viewer. The earth with its rivers and mountains is cleaved apart by the superimposition of barbed wires woven from electric cables, a recurring motif in the artist’s works. The wires embody the contradictions of our present by bring together two opposing objects, one a conduit for global communications and a harbinger of shortening distances, and the other a ubiquitous sign for borders, barriers and suspicion.
