Changing Pyramid
It is today almost impossible, waking up in the morning, and not to gaze at the screen of our smartphone.
Nowadays the subject Change can be understood in different definitions and aspects of our life.
One of far reaching developments took place in January 2007 when Steve jobs confederate that Apple reinvented the mobile phone.[1]
A tiny phone with the ability to connect to the internet, navigate, call, writing sms, camera, pay, manage the entire office and holidays from a small computer – smart phone, all in a small size touch screen that can easily fit in to every pants pocket.
In a parallel path to the Invention process of the first iPhone, Mankind, through the screen culture, networking possibilities, digitalization and globalization are in a broader way more aware about the changes that are happening in the globe. Consumption, rising sea level, biodiversity in the Amazon, man overfishing the sea world, all under the umbrella of climate change started to be “norm” issues we hear or share every day. “All living things exist in ecosystems, which are the basis of all life and trade. If that is destroyed, eventually the whole pyramid will collapse”.[2]
The change subject occupied me in my artwork. I created a changeable dynamic concept, that is symbolically responding to changes that are happening now. My idea was to create dynamic object installations out of a mother form of a step-pyramid made from varying wooden blocks. The structure of the pyramid was built from five step-floors and from twenty-five different sized, three-dimensional wooden blocks. In its changeable large-scale form, the installation has a physical presence in the presented environmental space. This effect, the viewing time of the observer from different point of views.[3]
The creation development of the step pyramid was followed by experimental dialogues between wooden blocks of empty frames and different mediums of artwork in order to recreate new spaces.
The physical process of the changing was accompanied with critical theoretical questions. For example: is it important that artists will keep ask questions upon our life, changing reality? Are there any more ways to observe art in new ways that we didn’t explore before? Can the wooden structure – forum, stand on its own? is the instalation to read as a painting or as a sculpture?
I created the changing pyramid as an answer for these questions. I want it to present a new dialog of how we observe art, an approach beyond the physical point of view. The project is first and for most and conceptual artwork. It`s an Idea to recreate new ways to experience art today.
I think, as our world is constantly changing and is exposing us to new rethemes and realities. Art needs to keep developing itself in parallel path to new possibilities. In the pyramid changing dynamic installation concept, I think I found one major answer to my question related to new forms of presenting art today. In Figure 3, for example: I started to experiment, presenting a series of ten paintings I painted in the scale of 145X145 cm. By hanging the four paintings in curve angle on top of the steps of the pyramid I created a new Display. The angled paintings created a distorted perspective. In his life form, is the viewer in his vertical standing point on the horizontal ground experiencing art in a coordination system of his own existents and in the world that surrounds him.[4]
A parallel ancient knowledge change happened in the creation of the first Egyptian stone step-pyramid in Sqqara 2670 B.C. This pyramid was built by the genius scientist-Architect Imhotep in the Third Dynasty – for the king Djoser. The innovative Architect invented the idea to build floors on top of an Mastaba (ancient Egyptian ground tomb) in order to create the first step-pyramid ever created in the world. The ancient Egyptians believed in Immortality; in life after death. In a transitional process, they transformed their kings into a Mummies and buried them in the symbolic pyramid tomb. This process was to ensure a metamorphic change from a human body into a figure of a God.[5] The symbol of the Egyptian pyramid refers to an ancient primeval hill that represents the beginning of the world; a cycle of life and death on small island hills that created the ebb and flow in the Nile. This natural phenomenon is one of the explainable reasons how the Egyptians came to the symbolic architectonic idea to build a pyramid in a tall form that almost reaches the sun. Symbolizing staircase to heaven.[6] An architectural wonder that has lasted over thousands of years until now.

Are there any more ways to observe art in new ways that we didn’t explore before? Can the wooden structure – forum, stand on its own? is the instalation to read as a painting or as a sculpture?
I created the changing pyramid as an answer for these questions. I want it to present a new dialog of how we observe art, an approach beyond the physical point of view. The project is first and for most and conceptual artwork. It`s an Idea to recreate new ways to experience art today.
I think, as our world is constantly changing and is exposing us to new rethemes and realities. Art needs to keep developing itself in parallel path to new possibilities. In the pyramid changing dynamic installation concept, I think I found one major answer to my question related to new forms of presenting art today. In Figure 3, for example: I started to experiment, presenting a series of ten paintings I painted in the scale of 145X145 cm. By hanging the four paintings in curve angle on top of the steps of the pyramid I created a new Display. The angled paintings created a distorted perspective. In his life form, is the viewer in his vertical standing point on the horizontal ground experiencing art in a coordination system of his own existents and in the world that surrounds him.[4]
A parallel ancient knowledge change happened in the creation of the first Egyptian stone step-pyramid in Sqqara 2670 B.C. This pyramid was built by the genius scientist-Architect Imhotep in the Third Dynasty – for the king Djoser. The innovative Architect invented the idea to build floors on top of an Mastaba (ancient Egyptian ground tomb) in order to create the first step-pyramid ever created in the world. The ancient Egyptians believed in Immortality; in life after death. In a transitional process, they transformed their kings into a Mummies and buried them in the symbolic pyramid tomb. This process was to ensure a metamorphic change from a human body into a figure of a God.[5] The symbol of the Egyptian pyramid refers to an ancient primeval hill that represents the beginning of the world; a cycle of life and death on small island hills that created the ebb and flow in the Nile. This natural phenomenon is one of the explainable reasons how the Egyptians came to the symbolic architectonic idea to build a pyramid in a tall form that almost reaches the sun. Symbolizing staircase to heaven.[6] An architectural wonder that has lasted over thousands of years until now.

It is today almost impossible, waking up in the morning, and not to gaze at the screen of our smartphone.
Nowadays the subject Change can be understood in different definitions and aspects of our life.
One of far reaching developments took place in January 2007 when Steve jobs confederate that Apple reinvented the mobile phone.[1]
A tiny phone with the ability to connect to the internet, navigate, call, writing sms, camera, pay, manage the entire office and holidays from a small computer – smart phone, all in a small size touch screen that can easily fit in to every pants pocket.
In a parallel path to the Invention process of the first iPhone, Mankind, through the screen culture, networking possibilities, digitalization and globalization are in a broader way more aware about the changes that are happening in the globe. Consumption, rising sea level, biodiversity in the Amazon, man overfishing the sea world, all under the umbrella of climate change started to be “norm” issues we hear or share every day. “All living things exist in ecosystems, which are the basis of all life and trade. If that is destroyed, eventually the whole pyramid will collapse”.[2]
The change subject occupied me in my artwork. I created a changeable dynamic concept, that is symbolically responding to changes that are happening now. My idea was to create dynamic object installations out of a mother form of a step-pyramid made from varying wooden blocks. The structure of the pyramid was built from five step-floors and from twenty-five different sized, three-dimensional wooden blocks. In its changeable large-scale form, the installation has a physical presence in the presented environmental space. This effect, the viewing time of the observer from different point of views.[3]

It is today almost impossible, waking up in the morning, and not to gaze at the screen of our smartphone.
Nowadays the subject Change can be understood in different definitions and aspects of our life.
One of far reaching developments took place in January 2007 when Steve jobs confederate that Apple reinvented the mobile phone.[1]
A tiny phone with the ability to connect to the internet, navigate, call, writing sms, camera, pay, manage the entire office and holidays from a small computer – smart phone, all in a small size touch screen that can easily fit in to every pants pocket.
In a parallel path to the Invention process of the first iPhone, Mankind, through the screen culture, networking possibilities, digitalization and globalization are in a broader way more aware about the changes that are happening in the globe. Consumption, rising sea level, biodiversity in the Amazon, man overfishing the sea world, all under the umbrella of climate change started to be “norm” issues we hear or share every day. “All living things exist in ecosystems, which are the basis of all life and trade. If that is destroyed, eventually the whole pyramid will collapse”.[2]
The change subject occupied me in my artwork. I created a changeable dynamic concept, that is symbolically responding to changes that are happening now. My idea was to create dynamic object installations out of a mother form of a step-pyramid made from varying wooden blocks. The structure of the pyramid was built from five step-floors and from twenty-five different sized, three-dimensional wooden blocks. In its changeable large-scale form, the installation has a physical presence in the presented environmental space. This effect, the viewing time of the observer from different point of views.[3]
The creation development of the step pyramid was followed by experimental dialogues between wooden blocks of empty frames and different mediums of artwork in order to recreate new spaces.
The physical process of the changing was accompanied with critical theoretical questions. For example: is it important that artists will keep ask questions upon our life, changing reality? Are there any more ways to observe art in new ways that we didn’t explore before? Can the wooden structure – forum, stand on its own? is the instalation to read as a painting or as a sculpture?
I created the changing pyramid as an answer for these questions. I want it to present a new dialog of how we observe art, an approach beyond the physical point of view. The project is first and for most and conceptual artwork. It`s an Idea to recreate new ways to experience art today.
I think, as our world is constantly changing and is exposing us to new rethemes and realities. Art needs to keep developing itself in parallel path to new possibilities. In the pyramid changing dynamic installation concept, I think I found one major answer to my question related to new forms of presenting art today. In Figure 3, for example: I started to experiment, presenting a series of ten paintings I painted in the scale of 145X145 cm. By hanging the four paintings in curve angle on top of the steps of the pyramid I created a new Display. The angled paintings created a distorted perspective. In his life form, is the viewer in his vertical standing point on the horizontal ground experiencing art in a coordination system of his own existents and in the world that surrounds him.[4]
A parallel ancient knowledge change happened in the creation of the first Egyptian stone step-pyramid in Sqqara 2670 B.C. This pyramid was built by the genius scientist-Architect Imhotep in the Third Dynasty – for the king Djoser. The innovative Architect invented the idea to build floors on top of an Mastaba (ancient Egyptian ground tomb) in order to create the first step-pyramid ever created in the world. The ancient Egyptians believed in Immortality; in life after death. In a transitional process, they transformed their kings into a Mummies and buried them in the symbolic pyramid tomb. This process was to ensure a metamorphic change from a human body into a figure of a God.[5] The symbol of the Egyptian pyramid refers to an ancient primeval hill that represents the beginning of the world; a cycle of life and death on small island hills that created the ebb and flow in the Nile. This natural phenomenon is one of the explainable reasons how the Egyptians came to the symbolic architectonic idea to build a pyramid in a tall form that almost reaches the sun. Symbolizing staircase to heaven.[6] An architectural wonder that has lasted over thousands of years until now.
