It becomes more evident every day that “distance” is only a psychic and ideological construct designed to protect the artist from the nearness of things. The problem is not that things are truly distant but that they are in our faces – they are our faces. (T. MORTON) Waste is an artefact of our society, a symbol of consumption and capitalism. We understand it as small, insignificant objects, but it is difficult to imagine it as a single entity: a hyperobject that is omnipresent on our planet.

She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University in Madrid and is finishing her MA thesis at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Ljubljana.

Vsak dan postaja bolj očitno, da je »oddaljenost« le psihični in ideološki konstrukt, namenjen zaščiti pred bližino stvari. Težava ni v tem, da so stvari resnično oddaljene, temveč da so tik pred našimi obrazi – to so naši obrazi. (T. MORTON) Odpadki so artefakt naše družbe, simbol potrošništva in kapitalizma. Razumemo jih kot majhne, ​​nepomembne objekte, težko pa si jih predstavljamo kot eno samo entiteto: hiperobjekt, vseprisoten na našem planetu.

Lučka Centa, rojena 1996, je intermedijska umetnica, ki živi in ​​dela v Ljubljani. Diplomirala je na Fakulteti lepih umetnosti na Univerzi Complutense v Madridu, na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje Univerze v Ljubljani pa končuje magistrski študij. Njena praksa izhaja iz raziskovanja presečišč performansa in instalacij, osredotoča se na človeške in nečloveške odnose in soodvisnosti, kot jih izpostavljata okoljska kriza in procesiranje ekološke žalosti.
