About project
The light object and versatile intensity of light are the protagonists in the installation Soar. Dozens of huge bubbles are caught in a special structure only slightly above the ground from where they may go up at any moment and disappear in darkness. Thus, they symbolize fleeting and almost ungraspable transition between safety on the ground and exciting flight somewhere to the unknown space. The Slovakian artist Róbert Farkaš actually characteristically called his installation “The Soar”.
Try to grasp the nick of time between standing solidly on the ground and flying. Feel the space between the ground and the air. It’s the moment when gravitation loses its impact and leads us to the unknown spheres. It’s enough just to breath in, inhale the air and merge with the atmosphere.
