The special, interactive
light installations
of
Mélycsarnok
provide an insight – literally – into the past 90 years of Hungarian light art. The displayed “reminiscences” are exhibited in a dark room on mirrors, which visitors can project onto the walls with the help of flashlights. The artworks works follow each other in a temporal order, so the further visitors venture the earlier light art pieces they are going to see.
The matterless works (light, digital and virtual pieces)
Tamás Szvet
created specifically for the Mélycsarnok expo are invisible without the use of a technical carrier, a flashlight. In a physical sense, they don’t exist. By evoking the work of past and contemporary artists, the selection of light art works focus on a perhaps less prominent branch of Hungarian art originating on the mutually inspiring boundaries of art and science.
