Jura Shust, Walking, knocking on the roots, and shaking the spruce paws #5

Jura ShustWalking, knocking on the roots, and shaking the spruce paws #5, 2022

About the artist

Jura Shust is interested in the relationship between traditional rituals and the escapism enabled by modern tools, in the ways ancient mythological beliefs can integrate with contemporary technology. Intrigued by semantic polysemy, informational intoxication, and the primal pursuit of out-of-body experiences, he reflects on how the archaic overlaps with the technological. Rooted in scientific research and focused on the connection between the human psyche and the natural world, Shust’s practice encompasses various media in constructing mental landscapes defined by biopolitics and ethnoreligious beliefs.
