Transit (through the physical world) is a light and sound Work in Progress installation, working with spaces for temporary and constant exploitation and inhabitation. The work presents an interior intervention in a transport container, based at the Port of Varna in Bulgaria. The choice is substantiated on the juxtaposition, between the traditional and alternative ways of transportation. Built on the ground between science and mystic, the work is enacting theoretic-intuitive hypotheses, as active places in an urban environment. In a reality of resources, people, raw materials, goods, capitals and information transfer, a hypothesis of space-time transfer rises up. The first phase of the work, displays increasingly pulsating light, corresponding with the experiments made by Dr. Eugene Polzik and his team from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen University in Denmark. The scientists explore the Long distance teleportation, focusing the phenomenon of bright flash light, preceding the appearance of an atom.
Differentiating from the all ready carried out experiments in the field of quantum teleportation, here the light opens a passage towards the Hilbert Space and the diversity of the parallel existing multiversity of quantum systems, with unlimited values and stages of independence. As a second phase of the process, comes the sound - underlined alienated from the situation, resulting from the light phenomenon which opens passages towards parallel systems. The process goes ahead with a series of flash lights evoking and amassing multitude of sound tracks, representing some of the alternative space-time lines. The idea for interactivity between realities, inserted in the method of overlapping the sound tracks, roots in personal experiences and mutations of the physical-psychological reality into transcendental one.
Taking a real object, a transportation container located at the Port Varna, as a space for the event, aims the visual concentration of the sound in to a form. That part of the operation reflects on the expanded concept of diversity of physical existences and the connection between matter, form, energy and momentum. Playing with the stereotype of requisition to a certain space time, the container visualizes the abstraction for concentration of non material realities. While its shape is constant, amass of sound energy inside, changes the constants of sound and transforms the way it is perceived.
Through the last phase, the sound turns into noise, due to the construction of multilayered tracks.
Juxtaposition of the two categories, the form and sound signal volume, determines the final. Reaching a certain level in the current space-time existence, the physic part of the sound is dislocated, preceded from the light factor marking its appearance.
The artists:
Bora Petkova (born 1979) So far in her active work, playing on the Bulgarian Art scene, Bora Petkova enacts her treatment to specific spaces. Analyzing a large range of themes, she confirms her presence on the Neo-Conceptual Bulgarian Art scene. Awarded by UniCredit Research Grant 2010 Lives and works in Sofia.
HR-Stamenov (born 1981) An International Art Scene Artist, HR- Stamenov marks his presence al so in the Bulgarian context, by applying science influenced theories, considering the contemporary situation in art. His Underground-Urban directed work is parallel with interventions in official art spaces. The direct contact between audience and art work is characteristic for his out door activity. Lives and works mainly in Italy and Bulgaria
