Day Into Night, Night Into Year
My face buried under the ragged blanket,
pretending becomes my shield, persistently in my slumber,
undisturbed by your looming shadow.
“Day Into Night, Night Into Year” aims to conceptually delve deeper into exploration of human nature within a specific time and space. Drawing inspiration from recent haunting memories, translated into a universally comprehensible visual language yet rooted in personal stories, this installation's essence lies in artistically exploring particular bodily states, particularly delving into the intriguing psychological dimensions of sleep's enigmatic realm: the act of dreaming.
The installation invites us to dialogue, and to do so inside a labyrinth which forewarns a sense of unease. Engaging with the artwork reveals the origin of the idea, dreaming, not only as a moment but also as a vision, as a want, as freedom, dreams as seductive traps captivating us with gentleness and ease, leading us into the shadow of an imposed reality. The oversized, pre-made duvet attempts to ridicule both dreams of our future and our perceptions of them.
This artistic interaction, in its delicate and playful form, provocatively raises pivotal inquiries about the Theory of Justice and the exercise of freedom. Seemingly akin to innocent curiosity, it tenaciously demands answers with a rebellious spirit. Maybe the roots of this discomfort within our microcosm arise from the inception of possession and the confines it enforces, traversing across realms of kingdoms, prophets, pride, humiliation, and down to the loneliness amid today's crowds.
Through interventions employing a direct aesthetic, refusing to remain apathetic towards injustice, the core of Haveit's practice is rooted in the sanctity of human dignity. HAVEIT daringly juxtaposes consciousness against the harshness of patriarchy, revealing the negative impulses originating from local pain, yet extending globally. Already known as an active art collective, HAVEIT treats our innermost intimate dreams using their meaning to explore the essence of our being and does so by raising fundamental questions about society.
