This series of artwork is a tribute to Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher born 540 BCE, famously known in his doctrine “Everything changes and nothing remains still” . Central ideas of his philosophy are the unity of opposites and impermanence.
This project attempts to explore these concepts visually. Various ideas urge to unfold: Can an image be formed from other irrelevant images? Or, vice versa, can irrelevant images compose a completely new image? All these ideas sound completely irrational. Undoubtedly, we have the established view that an image is a self contained piece. How else can it be, since an image contains visual information about a specific subject: a portrait of a person, a landscape and so on. Using an algorithm specifically developed for this purpose, it is possible to explore these groundbreaking visuals. The algorithm deconstructs the images into fragments that are subtly hidden into other images. Then, by blending them together, the ‘hidden’ images are revealed.
