By attentively investigating the House of Culture “Koco Racin” in Skopje and its historical meaning as a home and a place that was initiated to nurture culture, Anastasija Pandilovska employs the space and invites it to be part of her composition. She uses the built environment as a supporting structure that gives space to the construction and perception of meaning. Pandilovska bends the act of molding matter into a communal gesture to set the space in motion. She stirs space and by doing this she makes space and explores the possibility for the locus to become a work on its own. For there was nothing, but matters touching, matters talking influences the proximity of the visitor so as to return to the meaning of giving a home to culture.
