The German term “Zeitraum” in the title translates to “period” in Hungarian, while its literal meaning is “time-space.” In the German language — and in German thought — time possesses a spatial dimension; it does not unfold merely in a linear fashion. Everything that exists “travels” within this four-dimensional, 4D space-time. Our existence is a “journey through space-time” within individual slices of this infinite curvature.
Our spacetime, however, is not an empty framework: its spacetime continuum is the stage for the permanent processes of physical and cognitive information, where (factual) data, light, and cognitive layers do not merely flow alongside one another, but — by modulating, amplifying, distorting, or creating different emphases — give rise to new dimensions.
In my exhibited works — particularly in my concepts of knowledge architecture — I have strived to ensure that the visual language remains firmly rooted in the world of fine art, while at the same time striking a balance with the conceptual foundation, as well as with concepts related to the history of existence and knowledge, and to technology and information science.
