About

Duet D/E/F - Distant Circles presents an intricate exploration of the facets of human necessity through three concise interactive imagination compositions, specially designed for pairs of participants. As visitors step into the circle, they are equipped with headphones to embark on a journey of introspection. A harmonious voice gently instructs them to close their eyes, invoking their imaginative prowess to conjure mental images and reconstructions. In Duet D, the focus shifts towards the future, prompting participants to ponder the necessities that lie ahead. Conversely, Duet E turns attention to the present moment, encouraging individuals to shape their immediate needs into mental forms and colors. Duet F takes on a retrospective tone, unraveling the past to illuminate the paths traversed and the necessities that have sculpted their present selves. These compositions are anchored in the belief that personal imagination is intrinsically linked to proximity in time and space. This theme serves as a counterbalance to contemporary trends of individualization and societal divides. By fostering shared experiences, these works push the boundaries of virtual, augmented, and mixed realities, as they explore the confluence of analog and digital domains. At the conclusion of each composition, participants are invited to initiate a new iteration, thereby reigniting their exploration of 'need.' This cyclical process invites contemplation of the artwork's semantics, while providing a perpetuum mobile of necessity in time—a compact yet potentially limitless experience that engages visitors in an eternal loop of introspective creativity.
