Self-Propulsion

Self-propulsion – a philosophical category that expresses the change in an object under the
influence of its inherent contradictions, factors and conditions. In ancient Greek philosophy, the principle of self-movement is found in Anaximander, who applied the idea of dividing one into opposites to explain the origin of the world. Heraclitus also spoke about self-movement, and Aristotle divided all objects into motionless, self-propelled and moved by something else.

The project explores “conceptual maps” of both individuals and collectives’ perceptions of reality, which is in constant change and acts as a muse thinking about fundamental questions: Are we only accepting the reality of the world presented to
us ignoring other perspectives of the truth? Are we aware and capable of acknowledging the blurry line
between virtual and real, visible and invisible?
