“How to Build a Portal to a Hidden Dimension” | Interactive Installation
The relationship between the self and the collective consciousness, our perception of reality and the gaps in history–that indicate we know very little about the world around us–are recurrent subjects in my work. Manifested into 3D drawings (geometric structures), these subjects confront the viewer by allowing them to participate and create their paths within the work. They can choose to go left, right or turn back. Quantum mechanics investigates the possibility that the decisions not made in this universe happened in a parallel one, and my installations represent visually the exact moment these decisions are being made.
