The second exhibition of the term. Including the 'Allan' crew from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts Intermedia Department. In the courtyard at 3 Zichy Jeno utca (street), home of Daniele Palumbo, friend of Intermedia.
My piece is the silver circles arranged on and under a bush. The idea was to represent the reflective surface of water on the leaves. But, we didn't predict the rain that actually happened on the day of the exhibition. Lots of the group wanted to postpone the exhibition but we went ahead as planned. The wetness of the floor caused my circles that were on the tiles on the ground to bend and shrivel slightly. Still, it was a sunny/rainy day, so the circles reflected the light.
I was wanting to take the water away from the natural drainage system in the courtyard, the square drain being a place of gravity, suction, pull for the water in the courtyard. By creating my own 'water' and placing it in another steadfast holding area in the courtyard, I was trying to displace the central water 'feature'. The use of circles was important as a contrast to the tiles on the ground, and using the shelter of the bush to disperse the circles from made it subtle.
