Exit/Exist, 2017
Light-sound system (hanging lamp, heartbeat sound)
In her work she uses a universal pictogram, which should show the escape route in case of danger. The sound of the word EXIT is very similar to the word EXIST - meaning existence for me this analogy has become an impulse for reflection on the field of art exploitation, whether its existence should be verified by any institution.
