Umbra Triplicata
Umbra Triplicata 2015 https://vimeo.com/890119967 Beside the physical object (metal frames), the work has a virtual layer as well. The virtual layer is spatially projected (3D mapped) onto the surface of the real, exhibited object. The artwork deals with the unique power of light and shadows to modulate space, showing how the relation between the real and the virtual content – combined with 3D mapping techniques – can affect the way we see and perceive the visual experience. The re-projection of the virtual 3D animation onto the real three-dimensional scene, and the interplay that results from the combination of the two components (real-virtual), results in a novel and perplexing visual experience. By changing the position of the virtual light and shadows, viewers can no longer interpret their visual impressions using their accustomed methods, because the projected image modifies the surface and the space it is projected to, overriding our logical schemes of understanding. The projection derails the viewer’s customary schemes of perception and urges them to create new processes of interpretation. Since 2019, Umbra Triplicata is part of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media (ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien – Karlsruhe) permanent collection, considered to be the very first 3d mapping installation purchased by a notorious collection. Concept, 3d animation and 3d mapping: László Zsolt Bordos Metal frames: elder László Bordos Photo by: Felix Grünschloss PETER WEIBEL about Umbra Triplicata: The play with projected and real shadows, with projected and real geometry places the work into the tradition of the history of shadow painting and light art. The visually undecidable gap between representation and reality makes Umbra Triplicata also a singular conceptual work. Umbra Triplicata by Laszlo Bordos is one of the best works of light art.

creaturae at SIGNAL PRAGUE – CZ / 2022
creaturae 2020 – 2022 https://vimeo.com/873484211 creaturae – Light and sound. Two living creatures, two radiant spots that pulsate with music. Sound is a wave. It reflects, resonates and fades. Photons behave as waves and particles. Light is constantly moving, disappearing and revealing the previously unknown. It is also a wave. Creaturae is a two-channel projection that uses two spherical mirrors and projects images onto them. It draws attention to the two basic qualities of light – one projected and the other refracted. The light rays intertwine and create seemingly tangible images. The artist is guided by the idea: If Light means Life, then Light is a living Creature! If light means life, then Light is a living creature itself. The first version of this artwork was first presented at the Constellations de Metz festival in 2020. concept, visuals & lighting design: László Zsolt Bordossound: Ondřej Skálalight programming: Karel “Karlos” Šimekprojectionist: Tomáš Vondráčektechnicians: Jan Hladil, Julius Štefantechnical director: Roman Dušek †office & PR: Sára Němečkovácurators: Daniel Burda and Martin Posta prologue:sound & lights: Karel “Karlos” Šimek Photo by: Viktor Schwing Photo by: Martin Hurin Photo by: Kostel Vaclava
