ETCHI WERNER-NYIRI // JOURNEY TO SHAMBALA
Opened : 12.12.2007
Closed : 2.1.2008
Ever since Creation, Humanity has been searching for its roots, with ancient and lost cultures often being a major interest. Since Plato and “Atlantis-mania”, through countless ancient scripts, people have been seeking the origins of one lost culture or another. When the search turned out futile on earth, people have turned to the depths of the oceans, mountain peaks, deep caves or to the freezing poles. Even distant planets have today become a target of this search. Every way has been legitimate and, often, reality and imagination intertwined.

Artist Etchi Werner-Nyiri has been incorporating expendable materials into her works, together with bronze or aluminium casts. She uses mythological symbols to represent her ideas, which originate from watching nature and human intervention with it. The artist warns from this cruelty of mankind towards its environment, but, despite her decisiveness about this subject – she is nonetheless taking part in this intervention , which does not remark favourably on the human nature.
