self-commentary
If the object is not influenced by external forces, there is a reaction or effect neither in nature nor in life. Our life is a constant transfer of energy between people, a set of reactions. The development of an individual occurs through his intercourse with other people.
"Potential Energy" is my graphical variation about interpersonal relationships, interactions between bodies, the dynamics of our lives. It is an attempt to penetrate into the human body and deprive it of rigid corporeality. The graphics inspiration for me was a luminescent phenomenon, Kirlian photography, the image of the infrared camera. Starting from painting on the human body - through photography - I created the final form of a series of presented algraphy technique graphics.
In this cycle, I was trying to visualize the mechanism of reaction and image of the material and immaterial human form.
The diploma set contains graphics in big and miniature form and animation based on photography.
