LET MY FORTUNE MATCH MY STATE

mixed media

This work inquires reading and interpreting of the “images” of the coffee grounds. Sound and cups were exposed for the people to follow 3 different explanations (from Turkey, B&H and Croatia) of my future. Since the “images” were abstract, people were in a way seeing what they were told to see, similar as when laic is trying to understand the abstract or conceptual art and follows the “instructions”. Second thing that I was interested in was the quantity of personal in the fortune telling; is it really my destiny/fortune/future or is it defined by the person (and its character) who reads it?
