Artist Statement:
Collective project
"Environments of aesthetics"
is a doco-photographic glimpse
into frozen brief moments,
chosen within a fleeting
visuality: home experiments in
creating domesticated
environments, based on active
metal vegetation and chemicals
growth.
Inventing these alternative
sceneries relies on a
background research, invisible
to the viewer, in which the
artist explores the most
fundamental behavior of the
inanimate matter over the
timeline; guides it to act
visually as if it was a
growing plant, in order to
create dynamic aesthetics.
Once activated, these
aesthetics are passively
observed while self formation
process naturally occurs.
Dialoguing with the brisk
matter, changes day by day,
destabilizes the artist's
exclusive control over the
creation, summoning
unpredictable possibilities.
Through exploration of trial
and error the artist has
mastered a diverse pallet of
growth species, each of whom
functions as an independent
ecological environment, acts
by its own typical logic
system, timetable, and
appearance.
Information hidden from bare
eyes is magnified & revealed
using macro photography, and
digital stitching of dozens
camera frames into high
resolution discovery images.
