Heleliis Hõim’s personal exhibition “The Mars Chronicles” in ARS Project Space
Opening on June 18 at 7 p.m.
Performance at 7:30 p.m.
The performance will feature music and soundscapes created by a group of vocalists led by Lauri Lesta and Kaie Sauga, inspired by the works exhibited at the exhibition.
The artist invites the viewer to relate to the planet Mars as a borrowed environment in order to gather thoughts of beliefs, isolation, limited thinking, and silence, right after a person has left.
The Chronicles of Mars draws parallels with science fiction, citing Ray Bradbury’s book of the same name. In a collection of short stories, Bradbury describes how a person wants to inhabit Mars, despite its inhabitants and advanced civilization. Mankind wants and demands more than they have. Or there was, because a polluted and war-torn planet is left behind.
The artist focuses on a collage of a kind of planned and then abandoned environment, on the basis of which it is possible to feel the thoughts of the deceased, the creation of the environment, beliefs, dreams.
The exhibition is supported by EAA, the Estonian Artists’ Union, the Estonian Cultural Endowment
The exhibition is open from 20.06 to 12.07.2022
