An interactive installation
Beneath a certain level of depth and diffusion, the most ordinary qualities of our bodies lose sense (light, color, warmth, impermeability). In reality, our sensuous experience condenses and floats on the surface of undefinable masses. The substratum of tangible energy, vertiginous in its quantity and dimensions, disintegrates without restriction in a downward direction. From an energetic viewpoint formulated with the discovery of radioactivity, the tangible particles can now be considered as a temporary vessel for concentrated energy. This is energy which, in reality, cannot ever be captured in its "pure state," but as a "graining of matter" -the most original form of universal material. From here comes the instinctive tendency for our imagination to regard the energy as some kind of primary flow whose vanishing vortexes create everything which has some sort of shape in this world.
