Photosensitive images are based on microscopic images of the nanoparticles of a magnetic fluid’s crystallized structure. Digitally processed and laser-treated images of organic-form patterns reveal the invisible arrangements at nano-scale dimensions. At the same time the material reproductions on the glass create dematerialized sensory bodies whose projections transform our perception of space. The installation implies a moving viewer, as the surface textures vary with the viewing angle. – Uršula Berlot, 2014

'Uršula Berlot uses scientific imagery as a base through which, by changing its context, she alters our view and understanding of matter. In this way the scientific imagery is placed in an artistic context that brings forth the aesthetic aspects of scientific “images” and thus evokes new questions and ideas in the spectator. Matter slides away from the field of the profane, pragmatic or scientific understanding and gains a new value – the main highlights are now the poetic and existentialist appreciation of nature. The task of art is no longer to offer final answers, but to constantly open new views of nature, new motifs and new questions. (...)
Urs?ula Berlot re-discovers the magnitudes of de-materialisation of object and space. It is a more complex and multidimensional view of the subtle notions and natural order in nature as well as in our perceptions. Space too is an important building block in the perception of art. The spectator feels that the artist deliberately constructs a relation between matter and space. This attitude towards space implies her engagement with the viewer’s position: from which angle he/she is going to view the object because this affects the comprehension and interpretation of the object.' – Jadranka Plut, 2014
