Installation / pieces are part of a series of works forming groups of objects

materials: recycled pine cellulose, natural minerals, mixed media

Work on this project is in progress.


The compositions of the objects relate to the archaeological site, a necropolis of various sizes.
The objects are subject to substantial degradation over time and under the influence of external conditions.
During exhibitions, Mydlak repairs and conserves them, after which they decay again.

The 'Dead Seas' series addresses attitudes towards dying process.
The artworks portray amorphous marks that serve as a reminder of someone's presence.
Mydlak tries to encourage a discussion about the process of dying and its significance.
