Jordan HARANG (RUSS), Alternative Reality – Festival Waterford Walls – Tramore (Irland)

Questioning the concept of reality and parallel universes. A mise en abîme: the representation of a building on the building itself, while offering a different setting, an “alternate reality.” A metaphysical approach. Graphic play with the supporting architecture, emphasizing curves (rounded forms like the building, a large yellow curve on the edge).

In August 2021, during the “Waterford Walls” Festival in Tramore, Ireland, visitors were immersed in an artistic experience that challenged their perception of reality and explored the mysteries of parallel universes. The artist behind this metaphysical reflection is Jordan HARANG (RUSS), whose work brought a deeply conceptual dimension to this art event.

At the core of this creation is a subtle mise en abîme, where the building itself becomes a canvas on which the building is represented, but from a different perspective, offering an “alternate reality.” This metaphysical artistic approach compels viewers to ponder the nature of reality and consider parallel dimensions.

The artist adeptly exploits the supporting architecture by creating graphic plays that accentuate the building’s curves. The rounded forms of the building are exalted, while a large yellow curve runs along the edge, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding environment. This artistic use of architecture transforms the building into a living work of art, where the structure itself becomes an integral part of the artistic expression.

The “Waterford Walls” Festival in 2021 became the arena for this unique artistic exploration, where the boundaries between reality and illusion were deliberately blurred, inviting viewers to delve into a profound reflection on the nature of reality and art. Jordan HARANG (RUSS)’s work brilliantly pushed the boundaries of perception, challenging artistic conventions to offer a visual experience as intriguing as it is philosophical.
