What happens when you try to inscribe one empty space into another? Is the choice entirely dependent on conditions that have always existed there? To what extent are these indivisible principles through which an idea can be materialized? If the operation is prompted by numerical ratios, do they determine the aesthetic outcome, or are they merely a manipulation that has nothing to do with art? Once you have physically tested all of this, to what extent can you become part of the artwork, or will you remain merely a passive observer?
Test it exclusively at Collect Gallery, Sofia this week.
