Olga Krokh, Did not come

Second painting of the trilogy.
Acrylic on canvas
90x120 cm
2016

This triptych from the project 'I + I = III or I', created for exhibition in the context of the Venice Biennale 2017.

How real is the virtual world, and what could be one criterion of that reality? Combining two triptychs, I am telling the story of interaction, where two waves of impulses display the reality and the virtual world as a reflection.

Impulse I
1. Impulse of Loneliness. Immersion deep inside. If "I" exists, who is a witness?
2. Did not come. Absence in the physical world is perceived as lack of something. The emptiness we observe or strive to fill.
3. I am here. The virtual world itself is the emptiness — the body of information, which requires the engagement of the observer. The presence of one implies the presence of many. Being alone makes no sense here.

The artwork is not stretched on a frame; it is delivered in a tube.
