Hyperreality spiral

Exhibited 25.9.19 at neve Schechter gallery, Tel Aviv. “Hyperreality Spiral” is the 4th exhibition presenting an immersive art experience by artist Gal Vardi. This experience Incorporates reflective film reflections, original video art projections and original music by Assa Raviv.

Hyperreality Spiral was a one night only art experience. The spiral presented a round vortex, inviting guests to step in the center and create their own spiral galaxy from subjective thoughts and emotions, not being affected by the Hyperrealities of today.What people did not know is that some of the video art projected onto them was in fact an ironic simulation of Hyperreality - past documentations of people walking through Vardi’s last exhibits.

This exhibition took place at נווה שכטר - Neve Schechter September 25, 2019 as part of a collaborative artists evening called “Bavua”.

The text and concept projected onto the spiral and inside it

Welcome to your vortex.

It is by no chance that you are here today.

While you stand in the center, a spiral evolves.

The Spiral symbol represents the journey and change of life as it unfolds; It is a passage that leads to Source.

Here inside is where source is. 

Your source energy is your living consciousness, residing in your body. 

The ley lines of the globe pass here. Cross-points between energy fields in the earth's grid system. These “hot spots” are vortexes, doorways into other dimension. We suggest you get comfortable, feel the magnetic energy.  

Your source energy starts this spiral from within, creating a stream of thoughts, behaviours, life

This spiral repeats nature’s circular patterns outwards, the seasons, the path of life, it returns.

Our own Milky Way galaxy is a Spiral galaxy. You must mark your journey by starting your own spiral galaxy.

These are all empowering thoughts reminding us that our source energy can create our reality

But what is our consciousness controlled by if not our everyday physical reality?

Hyperreality.

A simulation of reality. 

We have replaced our reality and meaning with symbols and signs, 

Making human experience a simulation of reality.

One symbol repeats another, making hyperreality an endless spiral.

Illuminated consciousness

I ask, how does imagined order exist in the shared imagination of millions of people?

Are we living in imagined realities? 

Is fiction dangerous and misleading?

I refuse to believe that evolution has created happiness as a survival mechanism in our brains.

How can you explain the excessive and elevated feeling of alignment ? 

Is it just a simulation of what we think happiness is?

Reality is subjective. But what is reality?

In a world where data and visual images approach our consciousness in supersonic speed, 

How can one belong ? How can one feel the ground under its’ feet?

I was told that once I felt grounded I will pick the abundant fruit off this earth’s trees

And these beautiful plants and fruits and flowers  can grow over night

But what if this “grounding” is an illusion 

I had an epiphany. It is the cloud.

What if my belonging consciousness is meant to be floating and rearranging, renewing, never repeating?

Always traveling and dreaming, wanting more.

To translate this into physical reality terms,

One may feel grounded in between the known dimensions,

Between space and earth

Between the dark matter, and the green grass. Or the bottom of the ocean.

The sense of home where source energy starts, 

is where your spiral starts

I am source energy, living in this body, guiding it

It is my duty to look through hyperreality

Yes I will take part in it

But I will not let it define me or my life.

human experience is a simulation of reality

Treat this spiral as a sacred vortex to represent the beginning of your new journey tonight

take this passage and lead yourself to Source.
