Relocated
Relocated is an artistic investigation into death, transition and the unknown spaces between endings and beginnings. The work reflects on the sudden experience of being moved from one reality into another – relocated without preparation into a place that cannot yet be understood, only imagined.
What happens when there is no predefined scenography, no fixed architecture, no clear orientation? Is the new space completely free, or are invisible structures already waiting for us? Within this uncertainty, the imagination begins to construct its own environments: a room, a landscape, a memory, a possible future. The stage becomes an open field where personal realities can be projected and rebuilt.
The research was developed together with Canadian artist Kathrine Josée Gervais during a one-month residency at KUBA Artist Residency, following the death of our close friend, the painter Scott Estes. His passing became the emotional and conceptual starting point of the project.
Through movement, visual composition, text and performative experimentation, we explored questions surrounding mortality, absence, memory and transformation. The residency created a space where grief could become material for artistic reflection and where the boundaries between life and death appeared fluid, intimate and deeply human.
Today, the topic feels more urgent and relevant than ever. Relocated does not attempt to provide answers; instead, it opens a poetic space for questioning: What remains after disappearance? How do we inhabit uncertainty? And how do we continue to create meaning when we are suddenly relocated into the unknown?
