Black Light
video and sound installation.
Black light – is my series of research works, which reveals the presence of active darkness. Darkness is not just a lack of light. It is an active part and component of the universe.
We currently know four fundamental interactions: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak. A hypothetical fifth kind could be what connects visible matter with dark matter. A dark photon suppose to be a connecting particle.
The dark matter it is a major part of the Universe's mass. The matter that we can observe - from stars and galaxies to humans and animals - is only 5 percent. its mass. We can not detect dark matter directly, but we can see its gravitational interaction. Picasso said: that, what You can imagine, already exists. My images are are visual theses referring to the inaccessible part of reality.
