In Reverse Picture of the Self, an electronic installation designed for the Prague 1 Biennale, mysteriously oscillating triangles transcribe on canvas the invisible motions of a pliant surface. Each oscillation challenges the visual perception of curvature — a concept we first encountered as children, when taught to read maps — and presents the mind with a renewed sense of strangeness, beyond the stock expressions we have been accustomed to.
These internal motions operate as a new kind of spatial alphabet.
Through the onscreen manipulation of an invisible network of control points, visitors construct their personal space syntax.
