*Time-Gravitation 1.0 (2010) - video installation


The perception of the known, surrounding universe has its own rules. We live with these rules to orientate ourselves in the world around. But what happens if we just simulate another kind of perception?

In Time-Gravitation 1.0, which is the second piece of the video series, I focus on the phenomenon of the so-called optical flow - the pattern of apparent motion of objects in a visual scene caused by the relative motion between an observer and the scene. This time I take apart the well-known landscape, analyze it and rebuild a totally new universe by using reversed rules for the apparent speed of motion. We face this extraordinary universe, and enter right into its center, where viewers are "gravitated" and absorbed by the surrounding space.

The realisation of the project has been supported by the National Cultural Fund, Department of Fine Arts.
