Looking for the Symmetry

site-specific installation with live-video, 2010

„Thus it is a great merit to have unrolled the phenomena of symmetries in their full breadth to a monumental work; whether in quanta, atoms, and crystals, or in corporeal forms, senses, and brains, or in the forms of all the artefacts that have originated from human activity. Only then will we become aware of our potentialities: the concert of relations that joins the inorganic and the organic, our sensibilities, our thoughts, and our deeds; that which reciprocally unites nature and culture in the human psyche.” (Professor Rupert Riedl)

Site-specific installation based on optical illusion. I tried to find symmetry in asymmetry, using the principles of mirror. 3D objects are mirrored in 2D painting, which actually was not so completely 2D. Mirroring without a mirror is itself based on the belief that a mirror can be considered any area that has reflective properties, and its principle is the boundary of two optically different environments with different optical properties.

The installation was composed of two parts – on one floor was presented real installation in the space where people had to pass through, on another floor was screened live broadcast from these situation.
