Lovran, Croatia, Laurus Gallery, Presence

15 November 2025 – 6 December 2025

The exhibition brings together the works Presence and Two-Headed Eagle through their shared interest in light as both a medium and a material of representation, as well as through the idea of duality—two gazes, two spaces, and two authors. Both works operate simultaneously in the physical and virtual realm, questioning the boundaries between the material and the digital, the real and the projective.

Here, light is not merely visibility, but a tool for translating reality—between body and image, space and data. In Presence, light appears as a projectional and virtual phenomenon: the space is filled with semi-transparent foil surfaces and UV lighting that create the impression of floating layers, imitating the luminous effect of a screen. Visitors access the virtual environment through a QR code and a VR headset, where the visualisation is generated from visitor-specific data. In this digital setting, light shapes the space and translates physical presence into a data trace.

In Two-Headed Eagle, light becomes an analytical and reconstructive instrument—one that measures, scans, and transforms form into data. The sculptural element of the work is created through photogrammetry, where light defines volume and surface, enabling the transfer of a material object into a digital record. In the gallery, the sculpture appears as a static form that bears the imprint of this process, simultaneously material and digital.

Both works arise from and exist through light—within it, the physical and the virtual meet, unfold, and reconnect. Moving between the two rooms, the visitor encounters two aspects of the same medium: light that reveals and light that displays. The exhibition unfolds as a reflective loop—between author and viewer, gaze and image, eagle and body, the real and the virtual.
