Installation works
Every installation has within it’s development a unique transformative power that stems from the material and physical constraints around its creation. Via the multifaceted language of installation, it is not only what the artist has to show that counts but how he or she shows it. Working with installations is my way of searching for new proposals on the nature of art without ditching the thousands years old art conventions of representation as if they were no longer valid.
Each piece is conceived with an intention to act upon a space while taking into account its material and immaterial components. The best is when one can stay on the premises of the exhibition place in order to work out an installation with the visitor in mind, taking into consideration that he or she will have simultaneously an aesthetic and a spatial experience. Storing the different focal points, the visitor will build a progressive image of the viewed objects which will pave the way for his or her own personal narrative. In this lies the phenomenological potential of installation art.
