Charbel-joseph H. Boutros – My answer to ecology #2

The idea that something is here, yet inaccessible, missing, is central in his production. His works attempts to melancholically give a form of presence to a permanent absence. As a Lebanese artist, being born in the war, his art is not engaged in an explicit political and historical reflection, but is more accurately haunted by the said political and historical reflection.

In ‘My answer to ecology #2′ a turned on refrigerator is facing a turned on electric heater, cold mingles with heat. An ice cube is placed between these two invisible opposite forces.
