Three works by Tamás WALICZKY, who continues to produce computer animated artworks while pursuing issues in the perception of space, were presented in the video projected installation “Trilogy.” “The Garden” (1992) deals with a scene of a child at play in a garden and offers a spherical construction of the world from the perspective of a child. Through WALICZKY’s use of a method he calls the “WAter dRop Perspective System,” the world is reconstructed from a child’s viewpoint. In “The Forest” (1993), an unending expanse of mist envelops a forest of withered trees and no matter where one looks, only the same sort of trees continue on forever. An unlimited structure in which perspective is only partially effective is developed. In “The Way” (1994), marathon runners running through a city are presented in reverse-perspective so that objects furthest away appear largest. These three works create a dream-like space in which the perspective one unconsciously considers normal is no longer valid. While producing a sense of tension, they offer a new view of the world by rupturing one’s daily sensibilities.
