THE HOUSE OF THINGS & PEOPLE
THE DALAI LAMA: “THE MAIN PROBLEM OF OUR TIME IS THAT PEOPLE AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED PLACES. WE LOVE THINGS, BUT WE USE PEOPLE’. PRANNA EXPLORED THE METAPHYSICAL ASPECT OF THE CONCEPT OF «HOME», ACTING AS AN AGENT OF THINGS. THINGS THAT HAD SERVED THEIR PURPOSE AS TOOLS FOR THE WORK OF A SEWING ENTERPRISE MOVED TO OTHER SPACES AND CHANGED OWNERS.
IN THE PRACTICE OF MODERN ART, ARTIST OFTEN TURN TO THE INSTRUMENT OF DEPRIVING AN OBJECT OF ITS ORIGINAL FUNCTION OR PLACING AN OBJECT IN AN IRRELEVANT ENVIRONMENT. PRANNA CREATES A REVERSE SITATION IN WHICH OBJECTS DEPRIVED OF FUNCTION, WERE IN AN ENVIRONMENT ISOLATED FROM THEIR LIFE CYCLE, ARE SUBJECTED TO A NEW ACTUALIZATION THROUGH BELONGING TO A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT AND POSSESSION IN ORDER TO RESTORE THEIR USEFUL FUNCTION.
