Descrizione Opera / Biografia
Artwork description:
Light can not be created without the presence of darkness; it displaces darkness and it is swallowed by it simultaneously. This eternal interleaving and conditioning of darkness and light in movement, to trace this simultaneity and contraryness, to follow it and to visualize it, is the topic of LINE&POINT.
This one-channel video-work, called SINK 1, continues to focus on the creation of light.
