Onion Skin

Olivier Ratsi's installation work uses three dimensional constructs plus elaborate computer modeling to create multiple illusion of depth, speed, and spacial change from the fixed viewpoint of the spectators. These devices produce multiple, superimposed puzzles for the eye to decode. A great deal of our engagement with built space is reflexive and unconscious, installations such as this force us to think about the way we use and design spaces in a vivid and refreshing way. There is an inelegance behind this piece which goes beyond producing more engaging eye-candy.
