The project Vanitas Vanitatum Today is a series of images, which is a gesture to still life paintings, mainly Dutch and Italian. It deals with the vanity of the real world, with its materialistic, mental and emotional pleasures. The original paintings emerged with a preaching tone of the artists, claiming "sublime" can be seen in everyday life scenes. They also express the thought of Memento Mori (remember that you must die), time is passing and would not go back.    My work recruits this genre, but also photography, to affront it with the simplicity of our "mass media" culture. A very important emphasis in the genre was the illusion – is it real? Is it a painting? I chose to step forward with the media and ask is it a painting? No it's a photograph, what a Vanity…I use esthetics and colours to allure the spectator, to let him fall unto the magic of beauty, and than make a real detail jump into his eyes, as Homer Simson Pez toy instead of Homerus, or as a tag price on the yellow cheese. Everything is for Sale. This work is a part of a long research I conduct, exploring the boundaries of beauty, where it meets the ugliness, decaying and kitsch. It's a part of a wider question: weather the signs surrounding us implies our addiction to vanity? Is the vessel implies its content? I think it is.
