Erki De Vries seeks to push the limits of our spatial<br />
experience. Via installations and interventions,<br />
rooms and exhibition spaces are taken over,<br />
mapped and mentally expanded. As a result, the<br />
visitor takes a major role, making the installation<br />
a never-ending work-in-progress. An example of<br />
De Vries’ early work, in which he was primarily<br />
occupied with involving the visitor, is Maelstrom<br />
(1999). It is an installation in which the visitor can witness the development<br />
of a vortex in a bath tub the moment he steps into the room. De Vries’ more<br />
recent work experiments with pushing our experience of space. An example<br />
is City Lights (2005), a series for which he collaborated with Tim Vets. It is an<br />
installation in which three computer driven TL-lamps move through space in a<br />
seemingly mathematical choreography.<br />
