artist’s statement:

‘first of all, I liked the fact that this theme does not limit one, but to dream up. almost everything around us is made up of lines. the human body, mountains, houses, music, tone of voice – all of these things contain the base of a line. a line causes certain emotions. when it is straight and connects points at a sharp angle,  it causes a certain tension, conservatism, accuracy, a foundation, a dogma. but when the line becomes curved it is like a breath of fresh air, it brings a sense of peace, freedom and ease. happy moments become infinite.the theme ‘curved lines’ has given me the opportunity to touch perfection, using the tools available to me – fantasy, music, graphics.my unique project offers different people the opportunity to create infinite lines of a car. a man can draw line of infinity in the air using light  and we capture this moment. and what do we see? each line is unique, it conveys its character, some encrypted code that will bring a morespirited connection to the car and its owner.’

the documented visuals would become a backdrop for the cars on the show floor
