Exhibition in Pogon Jedinstvo was the second iteration of my Constellating Spirit series thematizing Life and Death.

We are immersed in a culture that misunderstands and fears death, and by doing so paradoxically creates the “culture of death”. By observing reality from a linear perspective we are ignoring the fact that nature is cyclical and moves from Life to Death, and back to Life again. This furthermore creates a hollow emptiness in our collective psyche creating a desperate need to avoid the inevitable end. It even creates an illusion that the end is real.

Constellating Spirit is a practice of inclusion and acceptance of all the missing and forgotten pieces in the greater scheme of things. It is a practice of remembering and returning to wholeness. It is an evocation of the parts that were pushed to the margins, and now that we have experienced the pain of their absence we can slowly bring them back and assemble our sense of oneness.

By contemplating Death we can unshackle greater depths and ecstasies of Life. We can grasp eternity. We can reach immortality. That’s why it is high time to acknowledge Death as Life’s Holy Sister.
