Exit by Anna Zeibig

Necklace / Conceptual

ÉÉB Award at Art Jewelry Night Budapest 2019.

Concept: We all live our lives according to the observed laws of physics. Are there situations where things are radically different? Where the known rules may not apply? One mysterious object might come close: the elusive black holes. An infinitely small and infinitely dense singularity sits in the center of a black hole which may be an exit from our known universe, sort of a bottomless pit. The gravitational force is infinite at the singularity and the known laws of physics may not apply to its properties. The concave mirror in the center of the pieces shows the observer upside down. The rules of our world do not apply to this upside-down world. We exit our known universe and enter something unknown, a weird, incomprehensible new world. What rules govern this new world? We do not know and we perhaps will never know, all we can do is stare at it from our universe and wonder about its different and mysterious rules which are out of our reach.
