(In)finite Dimension

2009, Cube made of semi-reflexive mirror, glass paint, light blub, 47X47X47cm, 0,1 m3 of infinite.

The concept of God was for the first time distorted in the early 40′s by a famous logician and close companion of Albert Einstien : Kurt Gödel. The undertaking of this notion, usually approached in terms of belief or non-belief made its first entry into the field of logics. The existence of God can be demonstrated as true or non true, provable or not provable. My art piece echoes the paradox embodied by Gödel’s arithmetic formula. Printed inside a cube whose faces are made of mirrors turned inwards, the ontological definition seems to reflect itself towards the infinite, as in a mise-en-abyme scenery. The light-bulb at the centre of the mirror cube allows, when lit, the gaze of the spectator to see the multiplied reflections inside through one semi-reflective mirror. (From outside to inside the semi-reflective mirror is like glass, on the contrary: from inside to outside it is entirely reflective.) In a process where the unquantifiable is quantified, a definition of something indefinable is centrally located.
