The birdcage-gun is a target work of no-form, generated from the idea of no-consciousness or no-mind (a-mind), and created through a synthesis of worlds of no-mind forms in the hologram of the Absolute, testifying to the idea of the archaeology of blood (DNA), the chromosome network of numbers – the idea of octaves, of water tones, of water that remembers through the axiom of hydrogen and alveoli. The narrative nature of an object testifies to the idea of orgona, that is, of sexual, cosmic life energy, as well as the idea of love. Wars are defined by cosmogonic processes, by universal and cosmic laws, the law of three forces and three axes. The law of Trinity, the will of the Absolute. Sleepers kill other sleepers and that is a product of mechanicity. Man is a mechanical being as he lacks the idea of free will. The birdcage symbolizes the casemate, the caserns, the prison, the parliament, the museum. The gun symbolizes a dead bird flying, with the corresponding “music box” that reproduces the melodies of the singing birds. The installation is archetypal as it corresponds to the idea of parallel worlds. The obtained objectified image in the mind belongs to the idea of objectification rather than materialization. The gun itself is an expression of the sexual body, and the sexual body is a body of awareness and love.
Love and crime and punishment are ideas that correspond to Thanatos and Eros, to genotype and phenotype.
Vladimir Dodig Trokut (HR)
Vladimir Dodig Trokut is a prominent Croatian and international visual artist, shaman, art collector, donor, and writer. He has established the hypothesis on “the real and unreal in art” (orpheism and artism). He is the author of numerous museum projects and production polygons-factories, and the founder of the first Anti-museum in the world. So far, he has produced more than 700 thematic exhibitions, actions, performances, body-arts, installations, Wunderkammer, living theatres, monodramas, and theatre pieces. He is featured in various Croatian and international encyclopaedias and lexica. He has kept company with various famous and distinguished artists, such as Joseph Beuys, John Cage, and others. Dodig Trokut is the leader and founder of various formal and informal art groups, such as a fraction of Red Peristyle, 3i, Group 30, Manifesto 72, and Attributive Participation Group (together with Darko Schneider and Harald Szeemann).
Since 1968, he has been shifting from shamanism to art and from art to anti-museology. He has been declaring himself as an orpheist, becoming involved in objective art (real art). Initiator of a variant of conceptual and post-conceptual no-art, and author of several new global museological and art practices, as well as terminology in new art practice and museology – Anti-museum, Black-it-art, Black out-art, Black no-art, industrial archaeology, and blood archaeology.
