From the artist + Lost Futures founder Luke Burton:
“My great, great grandfather, Benjamin Bresinskie B. 1857, in Belarus/Russia, was born into a family of Cossack military aristocracy (and criminal underground).
Deeply dissatisfied with his fated life and his burning need to become an artist, he fled his family in the night and into the cold Belarusian winter.
To find shelter with limited options, he found a horse in a creek, gutted it and slept in it to survive. Later he would flee to Austria where he met my great, great grandmother, Ermestina, an Austrian Jew.
They moved to Australia in 1904 and became naturalised citizens. Benjamin would fulfill his wish and became an artist/set designer and decorator for Melbourne theatres.
This work seeks to represent the phantasms that haunt the ancestral memory, the pursuit and the dread that Benjamin must have felt facing the certain death if he was recaptured by his family. And the desperate pursuit to fulfill an existential purpose that cannot be ignored.
In the ancestral memory, the phantasms become a byproduct of the ontological experience of the fulfilment of purpose. Diluted across generations, the phantasms become operators of the cyberdelic medulla oblongata, and take shape in a free association.”
