AB INSTALLATION
I am on a Merleau-Ponty-ian quest to re-sensitize my audience through my abstract and minimal artworks with a wish to make my participant aware of the phenomenological intentional mechanisms that human beings are practicing every day.
With arrangement of spatial experiments in order to challenge the visitors' sense of movement and orientation within the space I am looking for fix points that define the tactile universe of possibilities, which inhabits "the space in-between."
Exhibition places are transformed, rearranged, and perspectives are presented.
I am playing with experiences. Conceptually, these artworks align themselves with my interests in examining the way we experience light, darkness and space on a daily basis. I pose questions about perception, and confront the viewer with the dissolution of the familiar.
"We believed we knew what feeling, seeing and hearing were, and now these words raise problems. We are invited to go back to the experiences to which they refer in order to redefine them."1
