Spheres
Spheres
I created imprints of spherical objects using a scanner. The result was basically shaped as a function of the two smooth movements, the movement of the object and the movement of the scanner.
By continuous scanning, the object used became walkable and the resulting image gave a substantially flat projection of the object.
At this point, the process has become reversible. Thus, by rearranging the transformation base, a kind of simulated reality, i.e. an object reconstructed by a photograph, can be created.
THE Spheres series is like trying to reproduce a ball, but in the process it becomes clear that this is not possible. Man can never perceive the whole material reality, always only a part of it. Even the scanner can only capture one band, its range does not extend beyond a slice of detection.

Camera Reluxa /2000/
When light flows through a tiny hole into a box or a darkened room, the image of the external reality will appear on the opposite side. This physical phenomenon is the basis of how a camera works, whether an analogue or a digital camera, and basically our eyes work on this principle as well.
The Camera Obscura, as I used it, was my own childhood room and the slits in the shutter were all the “eyes” of the camera. Thus, each hole resulted in a separate image. In this way the image of the house on the opposite side of the road got multiplied on the photo paper placed at the window.
The series perfectly illustrates the variety of ways a photo can reproduce an external image. Images taken under the same conditions become completely different, depending on how the slots are located on the shutter and how far you place the paper from the window. Small photos get organized into a single story, one large image.
These works cannot be reproduced, they are unique images as they are created directly on the surface of the photo paper.
