Martin Vongrej: The Weight of Consciousness
Martin Vongrej (1986) represents perhaps the most structured form of visual arts in Slovakia. In his work he strives to contain the liminal space between the speculation of thought and conceptual-minimalist aesthetics by combining visuality and a subjectively conceived philosophical level. A key part of his artistic research is in particular the relationship between the visible and the invisible, which the author also refers to as "entering the interior of a virtual point". Vongrej finds this virtual (invisible) point in nature (for example, in the imaginary center of a tree's rings), in geometric objects (tori, Möbius strip) and also in a linear perspective construction (vanishing point as a virtual point of intersection of converging lines).
