"Surfaces: Immanent", photo project, 2013

Plato taught in Academia that objects as we see them are the mere reflection of their ideal forms, eidoses. these shadows of perfections are falling onto wall of platonic experimental cave, which he used to describe metaphorically an experience of the world of those reflections, that we see in the world we call “real”. Immortal, perfect soul of an object is perceived “real” through a contact with surrounding environment, a surface. As in Einstein’s relativism in physics, our aesthetic perception of objects is greatly influenced by a surface which plays the role of background for it.

A Surface, unlike an object, hardly speaks for itself in a bold way. It can be strong, but will remain abstract. surface creates an aura around objects, playing vital role in defining particular character.

Character of surfaces, presented in this exhibition, is in focus. you are invited to meditate on them, place your own imaginary objects onto them, play with your emotions and fantasies.

It is a harsh frivolity to name anything immanent. However, some changing states might go on for centuries, thousands, millions of years and thanks to this humanity is able to develop, building on the basis of experienced. We are empirical species and perhaps therefore human brain proves to be unable so far to imagine the concept of eternity.

Surfaces of this kind are like ancient books, awaiting to be read and learnt from. They can teach us to reflect on the lessons of the past.
