"Place of Prermanent Residence"/"Dynamic system, variable",   Tatranska Galeria - Elektraren, Poprad, Slovakia, 99' 

 

 

 

 

The electric wire joining speakers and weighted with bricks create a line of cardiogram going through the space of  an old power station converted into the Gallery. The speakers put into the walls are accompanied by compasses, each pointing in the direction of a nearby speaker (due to the speaker's magnetic part). In speakers one can hear the heartbeat which is getting slower  and thus creating impression of getting farther, and then coming back again to its normal rhythm.

The work starts (and ends) in the social room, where the artist's passport with light sensitive pages containing the cardiogram line is placed.
