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 micro-world. 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?
Installation in the gallery was accompanied by performances - a single performer illuminating large-scale print filling up the room with smartphone, 9 performers in a repeated movement under the heater (being the only source of light), 2 performers constrained in hugging gesture. Each of the performances had no apparent movement to them at the moment of observation. The performances 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, harmonized at some point (in combination with the vibrating sound of the metal itself). The installation consciously played with the sensations that are not replicable through still and/or moving images, such as heat, sweat, as well as restrictions in movement around the performing bodies.
