The basic vision of Leon Varga's installation 'Kiss the sun Icarus' is to create an open object construction that is fundamentally based on the ancient mythological story of Icarus.
Icarus who flew too close to the sun, and is leading us towards and finding connections between everyday relationships that, until now, have not been showed and discovered.
His aim is to prepare an artwork which is theoretically open and effectively reacts to the global happenings of today’s world - like history, Religion, East and West, individual and crowd.
Leon wants to observe the parallels of interaction. The object will give the observer the opportunity to connect the analogy of diverse interpretations, to mix cultural differences and finally find the balance between them. This free dialogue aims to open boundaries between the spiritual and materialistic world, providing a crossover of connections past and present and develop new civilisation values. New communication will open the way for multicultural definition and theoretical explanation.
The construction of the installation uses seven winged bicycles. The composition is concerned with finding space again, finding space as a symbol, discovering a new relationship between time and space.
Recalling past theories and new unseen analogies in relation to objects and undiscovered spaces. The aim of the sculpture is to build up a new relationship symbolising the combination of an ordinary object and spiritual intellect. This newly born mythological creature is the fundament of the human intellect and moral freedom.
