Breather 2007

Installation
Overhead projector, foils, strings, cardboard, mechanism
By using the specifics of the exhibiting site, the installation emphasizes the marginal positions in art / society, indicating ways of their survival. The sculpture’s main specific is the duality of its nature, the distinction of its external and internal “body”, denoted by its “chameleon” nature. The "external body” of the object rises upfrom the concrete floor and imitates its structure and material, in opposition with the “inner body” which contains an overhead projector and layers of transparent foils placed on it, lifted up and down by a rotating mechanism. The 3 foils - previously deformed by squeezing and bending are placed one above the other so that they form an abstract layer structures – drawings, lifted up and down by the mechanism, creating a moving image in the projection. The movement resembles breathing. The nature of that action accentuates the discrepancy between the rough - bunker like outside with the inward of the object, the fragile looking projection.
