21.000 II
21.000 II brings the layered workflow of my digital production into physical space. A decade of sun footage, always centered in the frame, is projected onto a wall marked with a golden ratio grid and mathematical notes. These precise lines mix with loose hand-drawn marks that feel casual and graffiti-like. The geometry and the drawing overlap and create a quiet tension between calculation and improvisation.
Moving images of sky and birds appear on separate digital surfaces in the room and form a scattered multi-layered field of imagery. Each element holds its own presence while still contributing to one continuous environment where measured systems, observational footage and spontaneous drawing meet.
The installation reveals the types of layers that usually remain hidden inside a screen. Calculations, sketches, notes and moving images exist together in the same physical space. 21.000 II becomes a place where natural cycles, digital tools and personal gestures share one open composition.
