Static installation in the conventional gallery space was accompanied by three performances that lasted for 1 hour during the opening event: a static performer illuminating the space with smartphone, 9 performers repeatedly standing up/lying on the floor in extremely slow motion under the heater, 2 performers constrained in hugging gesture. Each of the performances had no apparent movement to them at the moment of observation. The performance had an indirect relationship to the sounds bound to 2 steel plates, one being the frequency of magnetic resonance, while the other represented seismic activity in the ocean. The two frequencies, despite being asynchronous, met at some point in combination with the vibrating sound of the metal itself. After the opening event, all other elements of the installation remained. It consciously worked with the sensations that are not replicable through still and/or moving images, such as heat, smell, restrictions in movement around the gallery space.

Eternal and persistent thought of our existence and
acts being connected throughout time and space, while everything has
a cause, reaction and meaning. According to theoretical physics, the
object does no longer carry energy and/or impact. Instead, it is the
wave assigned to matter. The matter is getting dissolved in the
system of corresponding waves, which are the elements creating
completely new view on the microworld. This has been described by Max
Planck. In the general theory of relativity Albert Einstein ascribed
dynamic relationship between time and space. The fourth dimension
became geometric and epistemological quality. Since then, time is no
longer considered as linear quantity. While asking what is real(ity)
and where we are, there is now a question - WHAT IS PRESENT?
