Degree
Ochirbold Ayurzana (*1976)
My artwork is called Degree. It is an ancient Mongolian word for shape movement. Line dividing two halves of yin and yang symbol is regarded the Degree symbol. I tought about Degree symbol in a relation to the origins of life. So Degree is counter motion. Counter motion is basis of birth of life. You could say Universe exists with this motion. As a contemporary artist I wanted to interpreate this ancient concept in a new style. The humans in my instalation are not bowing. But they are taking an unique position of balance that is imposible for real people they are in a kind of meditative state. And they are aspiring to reach the spiritual realm. The conciept of consciousness is the main theme of my artwork. Because everything we do in our life links to our consciousness
