EXPANDING SIMPLICITY
Installation: 8mm plexiglass, copper wire, 230V and 6V light bulb, Video, 2015

In EXPANDING SIMPLICITY enamelled copper wires are fitted to a fractal form. With this material – used as a resistance – the artist generates electric tension without the employment of electronic components. Due to the infinite repetition of its complex shape and craft the fragile structure generates a circuit with 230 volts which causes a small light bulb of 6 volt to glow. The artwork, carefully handcrafted like a fabric, reminds on traditional weaving techniques. Its viewing engenders a state of mental concentration and selfabsorption.
