‘I am more curious about the elements that, by being so widespread, are usually for that very reason shielded from view. The voices of dust, the soul of dust, these interest me a lot more than flowers, trees or horses because I take them to be stranger.’
Jean Dubuffet.

Dust pervades fragments of life. A topography layering multiple times, multiple places and scattered remnants of the inhabitants. It is this banal disintegration of the places of our past that portrays on our futures.
The aerial view laid upon the abandoned office table, encapsulates poetically the stories in Dana’s body of work.
Packed dead moments of random occurrences, lay awaiting to be swiped clean and forgotten.

The dusty landscape traces the diverse scales Dana is dealing with: from the very powerful architectural phantoms to the most minute and forgotten stories. In the bible in it said that from Dust we came and to dust we shall return. The longer I wander in her archive I find myself drawn into telling new stories that probably never occurred of spaces and places and voids.
