Memory

My installation was made for the memorial exhibition of Béla Bartók. It represents the anniversary of birth and death with simple material elements. The flute symbolizes Bartók’s folk collections. The equally burnt candles grow out from the holes of the dysfunctional instrument. The flute can be sounded by blowing in, the candle can be extinguished by blowing out. These opposites become one under an airless, closed glass.
