Transition Space
total installation, 2019

Modern self-identification is a continuous search for oneself. Every day we process flows of information and images, both in the real world and in the virtual one, sometimes at the risk of losing the original self. This search process is an endless transition from one state to another, passing through stages of life, the formation of the personality. This is how we end up in the transition space. It is a metaphor of an internal “waiting room”. There is no need to wait for arriving and departing trains. Time has stopped, space is infinite and looped in a circle. We are only waiting for ourselves — when we are ready to make the transition... In the damp, cold twilight, we do not know what time of day it is. As if we were wandering through a forest hidden in fog. Sometimes you hear a sound and go towards it, sometimes you see flashes of light, you find seemingly familiar objects, but ... The only thing certain is the desire to find yourself and come to an answer.
