The artist's concept deals with the serial nature of the art standardisation
process. Affirmation is the principle of indoctrinating everything and everyone
about things non-existent, in the dark, the unknown. All of this is pronounced
in the form of words like art, sztuka or iskusstvo. Emptiness is the receptacle
of everything, of all things. Once affirmed, the light, seeking merely a sign
of light, becomes "pure art". The process is an affirmation, but the
word itself is just a sonic function, a self-indicating sign.
