Lara Žagar’s research is based on contemplating the end of the world, both in the physical and abstract sense. The allure of the recurring generic mechanism is that gas plants are made up of shafts, pipes, and underground infrastructure. Substances invisible to man. At these leakage points, this mechanism constructs an infrastructure that is inevitably extra-terrestrial. Concrete, steel, foreign, twisted, harsh. To the viewer, dystopian objects generate alien configurations that convert into new energy. The factories of the future are no longer bathed in smoke, but instead glow with light. I created a larger object out of transparent tubes that evokes a futuristic industrial ambience: the project focuses on the dystopian factory of the future, where light, a metaphor for new, clean energy, is the key raw material. It’s not completely clear to the observer what flows through the pipes and how, and from a place like this (the factory), we can only expect a vague prediction of the future.
