Fire Orks (2007)

Fire Orks are lights on fire, fast traces of light on fire. They are volatile speed lines crossing the space in symmetric movements. Fire Orks are everything and nothing: a portrait of lights suspended in a dark night. Electricity stands for the modern Man as fire did for our ancestors - light!

And as it glows and moves, it stands and moves and glows, on and on, far beyond the darkness. Technology recreates the mystery of light and energy with the same old questions about our existence. It is more than a tale of desire; it is the ever fascination beyond the limits of our nature.
