THEORY OF A BRUTAL DUST
THEORY OF A
BRUTAL DUST
Dust we are, to dust we shall return… and dust we shall collect.
A Brutal Dust begins with a material and conceptual contradiction: impossible dustpans made from concrete — a material associated with permanence, solidity and architecture — designed to contain something fragile, volatile and almost invisible: dust.
An object supposedly made to collect, clean and remove becomes deliberately unusable: anchored, heavy, immovable.
And therefore contemplative.
Solemn.
Hypnotic.
Its uselessness transforms the dustpan into a symbolic container, capable of collecting not only matter but also ideas, memories and existential residue.
The dustpan that collects nothing becomes a container for time and dust.
