The exhibition of Mihuț Boşcu Kafchin is about orientation and navigation, about understanding the world. The signature method of the artist is to let curious eyes have a glimpse into the process in which he tries to interpret the universe, or at least to sketch up some main problematic, exotic and mystic topics of it. The current and acute question of Boscu Kafchin is how one should find its place in this world?
The artist, much like an impulsive scientist de-constructs everything in order to understand its way of functioning. Boscu Kafchin lends mechanical logic to mystical processes: the kabbala is for example like a piston engine for him. As it already turned out from this metaphor, the artist gladly uses allegories of cars or he of-ten interprets situations by fetishizing everyday tools such as the aesthetics of gps-routes that can also be seen much like a cardiovascular system of the exhibition. The red and blue dichotomy that evokes casino settings as well rhymes with the dynamism of the roulette’s binary system and resembles well-known op-positional pairs like the magnet’s positive and negative poles. The exhibition of Mihuț Boşcu Kafchin is permeated by universal efficiencies, dynamism, roads, and routes, trajectories that open perspectives to something that only superficial knowledge reads as an aimless circulation. It is always at least magnetic relations that prevail in this erratic system.
The attention of the artist is very impulsive and emotional; therefore it often changes focus from one topic to another. The exhibition starts with dissecting the natural history or the mechanism of luck and evolves into something much more. The artist following his emotional gps wanders in the galactic fog of his private mythology, where reptilians steal the dreams of humans with a help of a pineal and some toothpaste, zombie ants live in metal metropolises, or humans become simple batteries. Nervous systems of aliens haunt on the walls and a ghost of a marbled spine ship floats on star map. A number of GPS, sextants and other navigational objects appear in the exhibition, which serves the purpose of stopping you from losing orientation. Or at least they give You the illusion of control.
Boşcu Kafchin often uses mystical elements at his exhibitions, his goal is not to present them as paranoid constellations, but they are rather crystallized forms of special subcultures.
He tends to highlight how our mental image about the world created with a mechanical scientific logic covers cracks of its own. In the universe of this exhibition the disseminated object-based metaphors of knowledge, lenses, test-tubes and the uncontrollable use of the GPS map invokes the presence of magic, as well as the general topic of luck which resists systematization. The morphology of the exhibition organically evolves as the media and dimension of the identifiable objects comes to a suspense and suddenly You see everything in relation with everything.
