Dust particles carry various chemical and biological substances, including corona viruses capable of remaining airborne, which we breathe in, for several hours, days, or weeks. Throughout our lives, we inhale an average of 18 kilograms of such dust particles without perceiving this process.

Our bodies are not adapted to perceive invisible dust, which is a natural part of ecosystems, or dust created by human activity.

Dust Archive is a scientific-artistic project examining dust particles as information carriers of toxins, products of our culture, and economic cycles that have settled over time on the facades of not only cultural monuments. This layer of dust is continuously removed as a symbol of the bitter truth about polluted nature, air toxicity, and the pervasive climate change. The aim of the Dust Archive exhibition is to highlight the phenomenon of dust and recalibrate our perception, processing, and understanding of the reality of the impact of human activity on the environment in which we live. When will we learn to coexist with our environment instead of constantly struggling against it?
