A two-step intervention alters the original landscapes.
Mihai Plătică started by changing their color profile, then added perspective and dimension through an alternative orientation angle in the unique frames that he designed himself.
To him, the RGB color model – the additive color model in which red, green and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors – functions as a tool for analyzing the world.
In the artist’s words,
“the images suggest an attempt to visually remedy our world”.
Mihai Plătică (b.1983)
”Before graduating with a photography degree in Cluj, I was a professional athlete (long jump), which offered me a quite organized and rational experience. It also probably helped me to define my working technique later on. I have always been interested in the history of the body, the nature of materiality and the universal laws of physics. I like to conceive of objects/sculptures and photographs using scientific theories that allow for a different positioning. My approach is methodical, scientific, rational, but I try to open new perspectives on the world. In my exhibitions I wish to convey an entire mood and not just the object, but its context as well.”
