Andrea Sztojánovits MUCH CLOSER TO THE SUNfIxIr gallery

The installation presents an emotional and physiological non-figurative dramaturgy of looking at the sun inside an artificially created solar array. During the subtly changing, slow, meditative pictorial process in the monolithic spatial construction, the strong orange colours alternately show the process of looking into the sun, the process of blinding, and the artificial exposure of looking into the sun through the camera, the bending of digital space, the phenomenon of light perception caused by technical media.In addition to the sensation of light, the intense orange colours also evoke a sensation of heat and stimulate the visual process through various optical phenomena, thus humanising the inherently synthetic visual world of the environment in synthetic space through human perceptions and hallucinatory experiences.

Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World" and Csontváry's philosophy of the solar journey both also had influence on the creation of the work.

The music for the immersive chill space installation was composed by Gergely Álmos.
