Their light is not merely a spectacle, but a subtle signaling system: a delicate form of communication that unfolds in the dark, one that is at once biological, poetic, and symbolic in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-35.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-35.png 768w, https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-35-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation takes this vanishing experience as its starting point. It does not seek to directly evoke fireflies, but rather draws attention to the void left by their absence. The idea of \u201cdaytime swarming\u201d transposes the atmosphere of nocturnal radiance into daytime lighting conditions: into a time and space where light no longer emerges from darkness, but becomes perceptible in the reflections, flashes, and barely perceptible vibrations of the existing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"nappali rajzas IMG6579 hanggal\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OlWqYLEGeZw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work thus evokes both the hidden workings of nature and the issue of human intervention. The glowing elements appear as part of the landscape, yet they disrupt our habitual perception: they prompt us to pay renewed attention to what usually becomes invisible in everyday urban life. The installation does not reconstruct nature, but rather offers a glimpse of the possibility of a lost sensibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-36-576x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4737\" style=\"width:674px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-36-576x768.png 576w, https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-36-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/kep-36.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[433,951,949,663,611,615],"class_list":["post-4735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-land-art","tag-art","tag-art-installation","tag-art-piece","tag-buda-arboretum","tag-installation","tag-students"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4735"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4757,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4735\/revisions\/4757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almasibalazs.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
