CAPITALISM IN THE PUBLIC REALM – ASCENSION/DESCENSION GRAPHS -A Neon Sculpture series by Anne Katrine Senstad
Ascension/Descension Graph no V, 2022 by Anne Katrine Senstad
The Asscension / Descension Graph neon sculpture series (2020- ongoing), examines the memorial in context of human life revalued in the corporate and financial language, the public framework that defines economics, growth potential and schedule, translating those ideas to a human scale as a way to look at the human value system of the world of corporations and power: the system of human value is organized by number of lives, production efficiency and length, a citizens value to the societal economy, taxable ability, consumer potential and other systems of data measurement. The Ascension / Descension Graph series signifies on the other hand, its position as a memorial, a psychological symbol of faith and the pantheon of eternity, life, death and spirituality through its ascension to the higher realms, or a symbol of the descension to nothingness and loss.
