Infinity/ʎʇıuıɟuI from the “Double Mobius Strip” series
summary:
My work explores current artistic and social questions, such as the present-day interaction with images, the recycling of historical material, and problems concerning cultural, political identity and migration.
INFINITY reflects my ongoing interest in exploring how art represents sociological movement through time. I’m interested not in making overt political proclamations or judgments with this work but in making a visual metaphor of society that was divided within the invisible walls of different political blocks.
The work implicates viewers to confront their own prejudices and assumptions about the society and to consider all people first as fellow human beings.
The mirrored walls and the “hatches” of the work invite the spectators to an active interaction, while the overall (Double) Mobius Band silhouette has a classical oversized “monumental” notion of “Infinity” – not only as mathematical, but also as philosophical category.
abstract:
Infinity (Mobius strip) and the paradox: On one side of a strip of paper is written “the statement on the other side of this paper is true”. On the other side of the paper is written “the statement on the other side of this paper is false”. Now turn the piece of paper into a Mobius strip. What are you left with other than confusion?
The paradox is true, in both cases. When you have a Mobius strip, the message written on it is always true. It is just as if you wrote on a two sided piece of paper: “this message is true”, and “this message is false”. In both cases the message would be true.
