A transparent picture is suspended on a rotating engine installed on the ceiling and is illuminated by two halogen projectors. It slowly rotates and projects moving, crystal-like light rays and veiled reflections. The fractal form on the plate is a computer-modified picture, made by an X-ray scan of the author's brains. The reproduction is two-sided, made of two types of material – one that reflects like a mirror, and another that enlarges like a magnifying lens, thus creating a condensation of light into a crystalline projection. The kinetic multilayered spatial structure creates a virtual picture of membranous veils of light, which in the dissolving borders between the exterior and the interior, the projected and the reflected, metaphorically speaks about transitoriness, non-determination and the multidimensional spatial/time essence of every system, sensible (natural or artificial) as well as intelligible.

Na rotirajočem stropnem motorju visi transparentna slika, ki osvetljena z dvema halogenskima projektorjema, v počasnem krožnem gibanju projecira v prostor prav tako gibljive, kristalom podobne svetlobne projekcije in koprenaste odseve. Fraktalna oblika na plošči je računalniško generirana podoba, nastala na osnovi magnetno resonančnega posnetka avtoričinih možganov, reproducirana pa je dvostransko, obenem z materialom, ki zrcalno odseva in drugim, ki preseva z učinkom ‘lupe‘ in ustvari kondenzacijo svetlobe v kristalinične projekcije. Kinetična večplastna prostorska struktura ustvarja virtualno podobo svetlobnih membranskih tančic, ki v disoluciji mej zunanjega in notranjega, presevajočega in odsevajočega metaforično govori o prehodu, nedoločenosti in prostorsko časovni večdimenzionalnosti vsakega sistema, tako čutnega (naravnega ali umetnega), kot inteligibilnega.

Four light projectors illuminate a bent piece of plexiglass positioned horizontally on the floor, which reflects a multi-layered image: an organic-like structure on the wall of a triangle-shaped space. The light is manipulated with an electronic modulator, which regulates the intensity and the speed of light projection, thus giving the impression of a slow, wave-like movement of a three-dimensional porous structure. The project deals with a visualization of pulsating pre-cerebral states, mental-sensory patterns and mental energies. 'Cerebral landscapes – Reflection' can also be understood as an artistic metaphor of dichotomy, implied by the dual meaning of the word reflection, since it can denote the optic phenomenon of light reflection or a mental activity – a concentrated process of thinking.

Štirje svetlobni projektorji osvetljujejo horizontalno, na tleh ležeče upognjeno pleksi steklo, ki odseva večplastno podobo, organskim podobno strukturo na zidu trikotno oblikovanega prostora. Svetloba je manipulirana z elektronskim modulatorjem, ki regulira intenziteto in hitrost svetlobne projekcije in na ta način ustvari vtis počasnega, valujočega premikanja izrazito trodimenzionalne luknjičave strukture odseva. Projekt se ukvarja z vizualizacijo pulzirajočih cerebralnih predstanj miselno-čutnih vzorcev in mentalnih energij , ‘Možganske pokrajine - refleksija‘ pa lahko razumemo tudi kot likovno metaforo dihotomije, ki jo odpira dvojnost pomena besede refleksija, saj lahko označuje optični pojav odboja svetlobe ali pa miselno dejavnost, koncetriran, meditativen akt razmišljanja.

This kaleidoscopic rhythmic structure of a recurring pattern is not a computer-generated picture, but a video recording taken by digital camera and kaleidoscopic appliance. The infinite recurrence of one and the same element in micro- and macro-measures within the fragmental but also well-ordered kaleidoscopic structure gives an impression of a hypnotic and meditative state. The projection of simulated vitriol into an architectural window niche reminds one of the way light is used in sacral architecture, and at the same time poses the question of perception between the real and the illusory.

Kalejdoskopska ritmična struktura ponavljajočega vzorca ni računalniško generirana podoba, ampak video zapis posnet z digitalno kamero in kalejdoskopsko napravo. Neskončne ponovitve istega v mikro in makro merilu znotraj fragmentirane, a hkrati urejene celoti kalejdoskopskega posnetka delujejo hipnotično in meditativno. Projekcija simuliranega vitraja v arhitekturno okensko nišo apelira na uporabo svetlobe v sakralni arhitekuri, obenem pa odpira vprašanja zaznave med realnim in iluzijo.

Crystalline diagram / Kristalni diagram

A fractal-like crystalline shape made of reflective foil on plexiglass creates a diffraction of light and forms an abstract color picture of light spectrum - a rainbow on the wall perpendicular to it. The composition is a computer-aided picture showing an isolated brain vessel, which as a part of human blood system presents a natural fractal form.

Fraktalu podobna kristalinična oblika iz odsevajoče folije na pleksi steklu ustvari difrakcijo svetlobe in oblikuje abstraktno barvno podobo svetlobnega spektruma, mavrice na steni pravokotno ob njej. Osnovo kompozicije predstavlja računalniško obdelan posnetek izolirane možganske žile, ki kot del človeškega krvožilnega sistema že v osnovi predstavlja naraven fraktal.

The brain picture taken by means of medical imaging and computer-aided technology presents a primary insight into the interior of a human skull. The movement of fluid forms is both concrete and abstract. The circular framing and the dynamics of the organic pattern create a hypnotic picture, which can be experienced as a visual equivalent to the flow of not yet articulated, abstract states of thought, unconnected meanings, fragments of memory, feelings ...

Z medicinsko tehnologijo posnet in računalniško obdelan posnetek možganov predstavlja primaren v vpogled v notranjost lastne lobanje. Gibanje prelivajočih oblik je obenem konkretno in abstraktno, krožno kadriranje in dinamika orgnaskega vzorca pa ustvarjata hipnotično podobo, ki jo lahko doživljamo tudi kot vizualni ekvivalent toku še ne artikuliranih, abstraktnih, nepovezanih miselnih pomenov, fragmentov spomina, občutkov…
