This sculpture was realized as the winning entry of the “21 Dialogues – Public Art” competition and is installed at the side of the Fordan Center in Pécs. / Produced by: Terra Ungheria Ceramic Manufactory, Pécsvárad / The motif of a staircase that has lost its function inspired the realization of this work. By exploring the relationship between ultramarine blue and black, I experienced the intense, almost mystical spatial effect created by these two colors. Blue comes alive through black, pulsing so powerfully that the contours of form dissolve, while black seems to suspend the blue mass before itself. This optical phenomenon serves to articulate the core idea of the work: the possibility of passage into a fictive space.
The force of color opens a passage toward infinity. What unfolds when ultramarine encounters black?
Hand-formed from ceramic and special sculptural concrete. Its surface was created experimentally using a unique technique. Dimensions: 300 × 330 cm Fordan Center, Pécs, 2010
The staircase that lost its function motivated me to creat this work. By examining the relationship between ultramarine blue and black, I experienced the intense, for me mystical, spatial effect created by these two colors—a sense of passage into a fictional space. This intense effect encourages the viewer to investigate, to come closer, thereby reintegrating the forsaken structure—the staircase—into its original function. This neglected space is usually the domain of hurried passersby, whose attention is captured by the hypnotic effect of the blue, slowing their steps. Thus, the space is expanded not only towards itself but also influences the plane of time.
