Tímea Anita Oravecz: Nothing that Exists or Happens is Symmetrical

The central symbol of the shamanistic cosmology is the World Tree which connects the heavens and the underworld to our earthly world. Shamans were travelers between these three spheres and intermediaries between worlds, thereby acting as spiritual leaders for their communities. In this exhibition, Tímea Anita Oravecz casts the artist in the role of a shaman. Her work visualizes her own extensive travel history  through lines of personal connections and invisible overlaps between the cities of Budapest, Berlin, Venice, and New York City. By way of Oravecz’s cosmology, the  constantly changing concepts of microcosm and macrocosm meet to form a perceptual whole.
