Adolescent - NordArt | Büdelsdorf, Germany
Artist: Vasil Berela, Georgia
From the exhibition catalogue:
Vasil Berela examines the existential efforts of individuals attempting to achieve transcendental states of mind but, often enough, end up vegetating as hopeless biomass of society.
"Adolescent" shows a young woman in need of protection, bald like a prisoner and blanketed in a sheet of fabric that protects her.
However, it also wraps around her like a straitjacket. Her feet are in a bowl as if for cleaning.
Twelve more bowls surround her.
The association with Jesus washing the feet of his disciples seems inevitable, even if not intended.
In any case, the bowls offer a shelter for more possible participants. The almost colourless arrangement conveys an overall feeling of a rather limited cognitive potential.
