Project was intended to be a methaphor of a certain mood of postmodernity. It seems that we live in a specific atmosphere of anxiety. Our condition is related to inability of self-determination, identity and purposefulness. We deal with a world in which, like Peter Zumthor said- everything beyond our personal data, our biography seems vague, blurred and somehow unreal. Our presence is melancholic and disturbing. In visualization I see it strongly conected with a horizon. It can be visable or hidden but it is always same remote and disquieting.
