I hope you enjoy, and to find out more about this project please visit jasoncovert.com
CARNIVORA is a multimedia installation inspired and informed by the purported discovery of what are now being referred to as The Sacred Texts of Carnivora, in Greenland. If proven authentic, these simply marked stone tablets unearthed in 2004 would predate the earliest known cuneiform writings by nearly 5,000 years. The implications are history altering, and with that in mind during this time of uncertainty and economic strife, when our systems and structures have been called into question, CARNIVORA will invite viewers to consider how fragile and arbitrary our world can be and what can happen when our assumptions are asked to change.
CARNIVORA is massive: it incorporates elements of still photography, large format illustration, sculpture, painted works, ceremonial masks and robes, custom designed jewelry, poetry and literature, as well as an original musical composition, all designed to transport the viewer into the world suggested by The Sacred Texts of Carnivora.
