MARKO BOLKOVIĆ / VISUALIA (HR) – POINT OF VIEW

This interactive lighting installation consists of 33 illuminated geometrical objects positioned to constitute words Light & Dark, which are visible to the spectator on both sides of the piece. Two points represent positions from which the perceiver can clearly read the written words inside the painted frame inside in the installation. The composition of lighting objects enables the illumination of the word Light in color white, while the black word Dark appears on the other side or the artwork. The light passing from one word on to the other changes the reflection of light and shadow in them both. Apart from its interesting design and scattered objects, this installation is envisioned as a mirror of chaos, which, from a certain point of view, becomes harmony. The “Point of View” provokes the viewer and raises awareness of the great movements caused by refugees and migrants’ crises. It also encourages us to think about how mainstream media shape our points of view, while a point of view can actually change in one “move” to see things from the Other’s perspective. Therefore, the artwork suggests that there are two sides to each story – the good one (Light) and the bad one (Dark).
