Model M - Kinetical installation.
Materials: silicone, wood, electronics, plastic, metal.

2005
Model M presents a pulsating heart impaled with the thin rod, the heart sending impulses to a vibrating phallus through the vessels. Human intellect immediately starts to seek for the force that could keep these artifictial organs functioning. Nobody thinks that these organs would vibrate randomly.Indeed, there is a hidden source of power that with a simple motion makes the heart and phallus work. Life and motion are conciously interrelated, illustrated by the universal symbols of repetitive cycles, for example yin-yang, triskele, Celtic cross, etc. These perpetuum mobiles of intellectual world break through human subconscience to be part of the creation process of biological perpetuum mobile. Desire to keep humankind in motion forever sends a powerful impulse to sexual organs from heart, resulting in procreation.

Model F - installation
Materials: silicone, wood, glass, metal, pig´s fat.

2005
The immobile Model F supports the active, pulsating, moving object. Despite its bulkiness and glossy surface, F Model still remains passive. Brain as the centre of mental activity covers a vulva. Through determination of sex, the universality of human mind will be divided into two. When procreation and propagation are based on differentation of sexes and emphasizing gender, splitting human mind would result in damage. One needs a mirror for finding the shrewd and hidden splitter. Introspection that would be ruthless, unadorned and masochistically sincere. While splitting one´s mental self, it is unimportant whether a vulva or a phallus has entered the brain.

However, answers given to universal questions by such will still remain unclosed.
