RED AHEAD
Red Ahead, 2015 - video 3’, acm stainless
steel plate, red acrylic box-module and adhesive film on emergency light
Eliane Prolik’s red light paradoxically talks about
of two dynamics converge and rub in the polysemic symbolism of color: the
urban, public dynamic scratching our habitat and our perception with its light
rays (such as safety, danger warnings) and human dynamics (which refers to the
internal nature that penetrates the blood, the libido, the vital flow, the
history of emotions).This double incarnation of light provides to Red Ahead (2015) its ample power, its
open sensory and conceptual layers: it is an entangled light in the polis and,
at the same time, the corpus as an indivisible flow: light guts and visual
physicality (indoor and outside of our life both collective and intimate).
Flow, therefore, current, movement, speed and, therefore, more temporal than
spatial index, despite so strong and even, we would say, blinding appearances
in its thickness of the real. Red Aheadis more movement and speed that saved, stratified space, although never cease
to be precisely matrix node, blind spot that radiates reverberations,
resonances (always more disturbing than comforting).
