Between the Past That Is About to Happen and the Future That Has Already Been, 2022-24

installation in public space, volumetric double-sided illuminated letters, ø 10 m, height 45 cm, depth 40 cm 

/// Public art installation on the site of the former mausoleum of Georgi Dimitrov in the centre of Sofia, materialising the sentence “Between the past that is about to happen and the future that has already been”. In contrast to the vertical orientation most monuments rely on, here a structure of a circle laid horizontally on the ground is applied, inviting people to enter the circle, sit on the letters and become part of the work in a symbolic but also quite physically inclusive way. It is the combination between the virtual text, the materiality of the three-dimensional, double-illuminated letters and the people present that makes the work complete.
