V tem besedilu raziskujem implikacije lastne umetniške prakse, ki jo navdihuje krščanska apokalipsa, skozi lečo zgodovinskega, antropološkega in filozofskega apokaliptičnega konteksta. Raziskujem izvirni kontekst knjige Razodetja in kako so se njene obravnave sčasoma spremenile, pa tudi, kako so jo drugi umetniki uporabili pri svojem delu, v primerjavi s tem, kako sem jo pri svoj uporabila jaz. Antropološko sem raziskala, kako ljudje, ki z njo interagirajo, zaznavajo ne le apokaliptično, ampak tudi vsakodnevno versko umetnost in kakšno vlogo ta igra v njihovem življenju. Vsaka apokaliptična umetnost, ustvarjena v sedanjem trenutku, neizogibno poziva tudi k razpravi o današnjih političnih in gospodarskih razmerah ter predvsem podnebni krizi, zato sem si vzela nekaj časa za analizo vpliva, ki ga ima ta realnost na gledalčevo percepcijo mojega dela. In this paper, I explore the implications of my own Christian apocalypse inspired art practice through the lens of historical, anthropological and philosophical apocalyptic context. I explore the original context of the book of Revelation and how its readings have changed over time, as well as how other artists have used it in their work, versus how I’ve used it in mine. Anthropologically, I investigate how not only apocalyptic but also everyday religious art is perceived by people that interact with it and what kind of role it plays in their lives. Any apocalyptic art made in the present moment also inescapably invokes the discussion of today’s political and economic situation, and first and foremost the climate crisis, so I also spent some time analysing how this reality might influence the viewer’s perception of my work. |
