CATCH | LIGHT ART INSTALLATION
Two light sources appear in this installation. One of them is natural, that's it observed optical phenomenon which is the straight line propagation of light. The second is a recording, an original creation. I created an optical device known to us as camera obscura. Defined in the nineteenth century as a mirror of life. It is a beautiful form of observation the world around us. It is with her help that we can explain the phenomenon of seeing, and the mechanism of image creation in the human eye. Camera obscura consists of a darkened interior and an opening in one of the walls with a diameter exactly chosen for the size of the device. The light rays falling on the hole undergo a break at its edge and the result is an inverted image on the opposite wall of the camera.
In this case, the dark room was space exposition of the Gdańsk Shipyard. I created two holes one definitely bigger to the sky, more tinted blue bottom part of the exhibition. Another source of light there was a recording with artificial light, vibrating, never not stopping. Multiplied image, using three digital projectors and mirrors created an illusion space completely appropriated by the wandering point. The elusive but visible paths of light. The installation combined in itself these two very contradictory realities, natural and created. Together they filled the entire space, the naturally propagating light and
a labyrinth of a wandering point.
