Erik MÁTRAI:
Moving wall [2019]

“The works of Erik Mátrai are directly focused on the human experiences, on connections that are and can be created between human and transcendent, all this related to eternal dilemma of correlation between perception and representation. Moving Wall is based on previous works of him. These light installations are challenging the space-perception of the viewers through their special architecture formed by piles of light being materialized by the use of artificial smoke, but at the same time the installations tend to create a connection between a sensorial and a spiritual-meditative experience.

The Moving Wall installation, as a new stop in Erik Mátrai`s artistic endeavor is continuing and enlarging the inquiry of specific questions about space, perception and passage. With the help of artificial smoke the light strip is modifying the perception of space creating a new space-experience, as changing of location becomes possible without any actual movement required from the viewer. The artist is broadening the meaning of space as a meditational medium, and at the same time is giving a new perspective on the notion of movement.”
