“Montenegrin Collider”​

 

The Collider project working with time, space, science, urbanism, history addresses the architecture-historical heritage of Montenegro. Collider examines the historical periods of Montenegro interpreting them within mosaic panoramic video mapping. If the latest theory of Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho is right, the Large Hadron Collider – the world’s largest atom smasher – could be the first machine capable of causing matter to travel backwards in time. Time, one of the fundamental concepts for physics and philosophy, one of the key co-ordinates of space-time, in the project is presented by panoramic video that consists of 24 fragments of moving images, which is revolved with acceleration in an artistic collider, activated a mechanism of audio-visual jumps, where certain fragments can gradually be substituted by archival videos.

Project appeals to the interplay between micro- and macrosystems, between physical and social worlds, exploring a variety of contemporary and historical phenomena.  It deals with the understanding of our space-time, researching the relation between past, present and future transformation. Visual approach refers to the experimental methodologies of children vs adult kaleidoscope that underlines the understanding of civilizational breaks we live now, where human being is immersed into cosmogonic fluid environment. Project is about complicity.
