[Texto disponible solo en inglés] Csörgő’s work does not take any position of the “squaring the circle” from a mathematical point of view, but he sees it as a philosophical approach to the problem identified with the logical dead-end of classical geometry. He gives an objectified metaphor for an idea that is impossible to realize.
The soul of the light sculpture is a mirrored surface curved in space, which transmits the light of the lamp above it in such a way that the rays first gather in a circle, and then, when they penetrate further to reach the floor, the shadow cast by the circle is transformed into a square.
Working at the intersection between art and science, Attila Csörgő’s (1965, Budapest) works seek to answer the question of whether the psychological laws of human vision can be endowed with a poetic form that both makes the viewer think and dislocates him from the fixed patterns of experience, with peculiar humor and detachment.
