Description
Diptych: laser-cut and digital print on plexiglass
dim: 200 x 135 cm

The hanging objects present microscopic image of a carbon substance (up) and its digital mapping (transcription) into a reciprocal space (down) by the use of digital fast Fourier transformation (FFT). Although the original micrscopic image appear to be visually attractive and complex it is in fact its simplified, reciprocal transcription - projection into inverse space the one, which contains far more structural information. Perforation of the transparent carrier-surface and the accompanying shadow cause the object to become dematerialized through the transition of the material into an immaterial projection in space.
