Traffic light, a 3D space

TIRANA, Feb. 14 – Klodian Deda’s Traffic Light work suggests a three-dimensional space between two traffic lights, inserting the public in a perceptual setting to cultivate emotions in a space where sentient reality prevails.
We are dealing with an “un-framed” exhibit that falls outside conventional norms and takes into account visual art as it closely relates to the extent of the volume it occupies, thus creating a psychological space where genuine thought merges with the perception of the body in a precise space/time momentum.
Utilizing a three-dimensional space as an immaterial art piece establishes the premise for a specific aesthetic category leaning more towards epistemology than ontology through the transgression of the formal expression forms, developing a sensory experience, visions, fantasies, and a state of tension in the space between the austere traffic lights, which consequently provoke a contradictory abstract reality that puts the public in a dilemma or questionable position, thus presenting an analogy between illusion and purpose.
What is the objective opinion suggested here, by the space between two specific objects symbolically represented by two contingent traffic lights?
The answers come from the subconsciousness and the cultural domain.
The Traffic Light project is part of an artistic search and aesthetic experiment that encourage reflection on the phenomena of the political, social and cultural kind.
In itself, this project represents a significant approach conveying an identity awareness paradigm: where we come from, who we are, where we are going, expressing its point of view on the individual in relation to the time we live in.”
Klodian Deda, 28, lives and works in Milan, Italy. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Brera Milan. He has participated in dozens of solo and collective exhibitions in Albania and abroad.
The “Traffic Light” exhibition will be open at the newly opened Miza Gallery near the Faculty of Law of the public University of Tirana from February 11 to 24.
