The interlacing of the statics of a sculpture with the dynamics of a projection is used by the sculptors in their participation in the week devoted to modern arts in Plovdiv ‘From a Distance’. They situate their nets in a popular walking, tunnel which functions as a shopping centre as well. The transparent barriers seem to separate the outside behaviour of the passers-by from their inside conscience. The rhythmically changing images from the projection achieve the opposite – they combine the two in eternally flowing time. Thus a certain space which represents a concentrated mirror reflection of reality becomes crammed with yet more energy forces. The motive of modelling the environment strongly attracts the artists. They fence off an area, belonging to nobody, which can turn into a place for meditation, concentration and instant’s privacy.
