In the exhibition “Habitat”, the artist presents his latest research – a double project, which reveals the topics of embeddedness with surroundings, constant change, and impossibility to define clear lines of distinction. Drawings presented in the show are based on contemporary patent diagrams and old medical material about human behavior, its predictability, as well relation to the environment. They are complemented by objects and a video work in which the artist analyzes the building of the new Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide, nearby Berlin. According to the representation of the building, it is an “important future factory”, but paradoxically it lies among the heaps of sand, uprooted trees, and the changed natural environment. Several different layers intertwine in the exhibition into one story and encourage us to question not only the “noble” goals of Tesla and Elon Musk – to create a clean and sustainable change in the world at high speed, but also the frequent discrepancy between the goal, its representation, and reality.

The work was exhibited in solo exhibition "Habitat" in AV17 Gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania, 2021
