Talya Lubinsky (born 1988 in South Africa) meticulously explores
basic materials in her works which she uses to convey poetic
meaning. The book presents her latest work "Marble Dust". In the
course of her research on cemeteries in South Africa, the artist
discovered a place where political prisoners were buried who had
been sentenced to death by the apartheid state in the 1960s. The
remains of the murdered activists were disinterred between 2016 and
2019, and their bodies that had crumbled to dust were returned to
their families. For her project, Lubinsky studied the old ledgers
that list grave numbers, names, and dates. She traced the outlines
of their pages - most of which are torn - onto marble and cut out
the shapes. In this way, she has impressively reversed the
vulnerability of paper and has translated it into a durable
material that is composed of calcium, as are bones, and is
frequently used for tombstones. The specific qualities of the
material in Lubinsky's art therefore act as a catalyst for
reflection on their meaning. Text in English and German.
