In this exhibition we are exploring the concept of museums treated not as storages of paintings and sculptures but as REPOSITORIES OF TIMELESS HUMAN IMAGINATION. IMAGES REACH US FROM THE PAST; THEY ARE PROJECTIONS OF THE VISUAL MIND IN WHICH WE INTUITIVELY SENSE THE VIBRATION, STRENGTH OF LIFE AND ENERGY.

​

The Sphinx Project was inspired by collages of Aby Warburg Atlas Mnemosine (1927-1929) and Walter Benjamin Pariser Passagen (1927-1940). In my proposal, however, the linear historical narration gives way to non-historical image of simultaneous CULTURAL SPACE. It can be presented as a metaphor of THE VIEW OF THE NIGHT SKY FULL OF STARS. It is here that star lights, coming from different distances, sent in different times, combine in the observer’s eye and mind in one image.

 

You can experience similar impressions in a museum, when you are surrounded by artifacts of distant provenience. You receive the reflections of past civilizations, combining in a visual simultaneity. Scanning by the mind armed with erudition and sensitivity of that cultural space, gives the sense of intuitive touch of the mystery of the world hung between the reality and the idea. Hence the name of the project - Sphinx, alluding to the icon of what is mysterious. 

 

The object of exploration in the accomplishment of Sphinx Project, are the masterpieces of ancient sculpture, exhibited in British Museum. Ancient art collections univeils a platform for the contemporary people to present their on interpretation of timeless human creativity. We are interested especially in their aura, the emotional, intellectual and spiritual dimensions. The result is not, therefore their reproduction or copy. It resulted in digital clones, which are the images of special kind, connected with the traditional visual practices of crossing borders of the real world.
