le moment dansa : the moment will dance

The composers based their compositions on these philosophical fields, and the circle is completed by the painting’s author, Bram D’Hont, and British-Hungarian visual artist Martha Kicsiny, who created a visual installation and video projection inspired by the said philosopical fields and musical works.

It is a profound exploration of the painter’s encounter with a woman triggered by a black dot in the iris of her eye. The painting contains all possible permutations of red, yellow, and blue in a square divided into four parts. Transparent layers of the primary, secondary, and tertiary spectrum act as background radiation of the artist’s past, from which the spectrum of nine existential fields, called ‘l’espace d’iris’ (the space of the iris), was derived. They connect concepts such as nature, reflection, contemplation, desire, hope, energy, matter, and love, rounded off with the concept of our self, the grey field in the middle.
