Персональний щит/Personal shield

_2011


Робота за мотивом побаченого у центрі Цюриху паркану/
The form for this object was taken from the small fence have found by me in the center of Zurich


"Personal shield is an object the archetype of which was noticed by the artist during her stay in Switzerland. It is a small fence erected between buildings in order to separate the access to the space between them. It was turned into a mobile object for personal use, a personal shield, which makes it possible to set borderlines between its user and his or her environment. The work was prepared for the artist’s exhibition in Switzerland, made relatively cheaper in Ukraine and transported by the artists over the Schengen border as hand luggage" Marianna Dobkowska

"A personal shield is a tool of self-defense, an instrument which helps to sustain a personal "safety zone". Referring to the familiar elements of an urban landscape, Lada Nakonechna reinterprets the emblematic attributes of war as an everyday sign of social life. A desire to isolate from other people's problems and needs, which goes along with everyday struggle for personal comfort, is materialized in her functional work revealing its hidden bellicosity" Lesia Kulchynska
