Installation, 2009

Sea-Column, 2009

The summer of 2009 I was in Rome with scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Rome. I wanted to make a personal memorial of the time spent in Rome and at the sea.
The work is a video loop, I caught a sea wave into a vertical image-column. This wave when it reaches the frame it turns back, so I closed this time-interval into this footage. The wave stands vertically, the image is oblong. I install it into a dark room, the column fills the space from the floor to the ceiling so it continues endlessly above and below.
For the the local people the sea is a constant experience: it was there, it will always be there. But for me it was a closed period of time, that was and could be again in the future, and the only way to keep it for me is some image or sound recording.
