“At the apogee, we beget values; at twilight, worn and defeated, we abolish them. Fascination of decadence—of the ages when the truths have no further life . . . when they pile up like skeletons in the desiccated, pensive soul, in the boneyard of dreams…”

E.M. Cioran

The project „On the edge of civilization„ was created for the HOME 2124 exhibition and the reBonkers space in Varna. It is based on a found book about important archaeological findings in Bulgaria with the title, “An der Schwelle der Zivilisation,”. The book surprisingly “ends” on page 32, leaving the remaining over two-thirds of the pages blank for some reason. This unusual absence of information makes us think about the possible dystopian future and the consequences that it may bring to us. How can we start fresh, and is it even possible? Can we completely leave behind what precedes us, or will we always find “bones” with every small stir of the soil beneath?

Found book, Plexiglas, variable size.
