STRINGS OF TIME
Imagination is more important than knowledge
Albert Einstein
Since 2008 I have been working on a complex project (Strings of Time) in which I offer my viewers an experience of the phenomenon of opening up the strings of time.
For many years artists and scientists all over the world have been trying to tackle that problem (a good example is the Large Hadron Collider).
I am interested in the phenomenon of opening the space-time in an artistic aspect.
Here my space-time opens onto the following:
Space No 1
The Case of Edward H...
I enter the world of an American artist- Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
The frozen situations from the pictures permeate into film quotations; we are surrounded by fragments of different paintings and film realities. We are in an active space of images and sounds.
Space No.2
The Case of Iza G...
I immerse myself in the space similar to the framework of Edward Hopper’s pictures, but it is my present time and the space of my house (5 films) and the time of my American trip in 2010 in California and New York (16 films).
Film images by way of minimal fragments pass on the film quotations from space No. 1 (The Case of Edward H...). The case of time of Edward H… and Iza G… are interrelated. I stop those two strings of time only for a moment.
Space No. 3
The Case of Josephine H... (still unrealized)
The space-time continuum opening up to the monitoring of everyday life in New York streets, bridges, stations etc. Reality interlaces with little episodes from private lives of a few selected women, in the constant search for The One - similar to the red-haired wife of Edward H...
Truth and Fiction blend and remain a secret and a hidden choice for the viewer.
Space No. 4
Hybrids of Space- Time
Galeria Manhattan, Łódź; Art Stations Foundation, Poznań 2012.
It is an accumulative reflection, where film images recorded in the above mentioned parts intertwine and permeate to build a new hybrid space. We have an impression that the opening black holes contain fragments of events from (The Case of Edward H…, The Case of Iza G… and The Case of Josephine H…). Art and Science balance on the edge of Truth and Fiction. We - as Recipients - determine our individual choices - our space-time continuum.
